Why won't Biden pardon Luigi?

[Venom]

He already commuted the sentences of 37 Death Row prisoners and pardoned Hunter.

[xDDD]

That would be a funny sh*tstorm. I hope he does it lol

Because politicians are beholden to their donors and rich people who keep your wages low and hours high.

The death penalty costs more to enforce than keeping someone alive in prison. It's also barbaric and is not used in most first world countries. Also, the lack of DNA testing on death row inmates is ridiculous. The number of cases where people who were exonerated by DNA evidence on appeal, when that wasn't available in their trials, showed extreme racial injustice towards African Americans.

Well, I mean, he probably can't. The president can only give pardons for federal offenses. Those 39 death row inmates were almost all of the ones that were convicted on the basis of federal charges meriting capitol offense, but there are thousands of death row inmates across the U.S.A.

U.S. states are called states rather than provinces for a reason. It's basically a synonym for country. The U.S.A. is not a top-down governance. It is a federation managed on the principle of dual sovereignty[www.law.cornell.edu]. That means states and the federal governments are co-sovereigns. The Federal government manages the Article Ⅰ Section 8 powers, and the states have plenary power over everything else that the constitution does not expressly prohibit. The federal government lacks general police power.

There are a few cases where the federal government might be claim jurisdiction over a murder case if a relevant statute has been passed in recognition of the congressional authority, but generally speaking, murder is managed strictly at the state level for this reason.

Since it is likely being charge as a state level offense, the only person with the authority to pardon Luigi Malone would likely be New York Governor Kathy Hochul.

That doesn't really seem to apply here.

First, his donors gave him the boot from the election, so the I scratch you back, you scratch mine back principle really only seems to apply insofar as catscratches go.

Second, it's probably not as if he's going to be seeking more handouts. His political career is likely over with this loss. I doubt he'd want to rerun in 2-4 years if he's even alive by then. Dude's 82. Life expectancy in the U.S.A. is 75. Dude's living in borrowed time, and he likely doesn't need a job anymore 'cause he'll receive pension money. Ex-presidents earn a pension equivalent to the salary of a cabinet secretary[crsreports.congress.gov], which is $226,000 per year presently. Combine that with a net worth of 10 million bucks and the dude's basically set for life with enough money to leave each of his four kids and his wife a fortune of 2 million each.

Third, any illegal means of coercing him into honoring any shady backroom deals he may've made are basically rendered moot by the fact that ex-presidents and their spouses are guarded by the secret service for life since 1965, which is arguably the best security detail on the planet. Makes sense since you probably earn a great deal of enemies being in such a high position of power.

Simple.

Because this is always political theatre. The only reason this is carried out at the end of any president's term is purely for THEIR appeal. They want to look good in some way.

So, this would be a suicidal legacy if he did this.

[Agenda 2025]

cant. no conviction.
Wait he pardoned hunter going back to 2014..

[Dracoco OwO]

That Plumber can't keep getting away with it.

That should be illegal.

I'd say he's already going with that legacy. May not be as bad as Trump but he's still pretty bad.

This has nothing to do with this case, and there's no reason for him not to be executed. He seemed to be okay with carrying out such a sentence himself without a trial so he is already receiving a courtesy denied to his victim. I'm not going to shed a tear.

[Sorckoty]

because no matter their political party, the president is on the side of CEOs

[Silly]

Because Luigi will win by doing absolutely no-
Oops, wrong Luigi.

[Armagon]

He should pardon him for the lols and Trump's assassins too

[pants]

Because that would be the wrong game. This is Luigi's Mansion 3
