The Yahoo comments are pathetic, with a number of posters apparently not realizing that the power of pardon and parole is granted explicitly by the Constitution.
Imagine how hard this kind of reform would be at the state level, where applications for clemency would face the additional barrier of opposition from the profit-driven private prison industry.
