The Not-so-Smooth Transition – Ep 24-509

Joe Biden pardoned 37 death row prisoners. “Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss,” Biden’s statement said. “But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, vice president, and now president, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level.” “These are among the worst killers in the world and this abhorrent decision by Joe Biden is a slap in the face to the victims, their families, and their loved ones.” said Trump spokesman Steven Cheung. “President Trump stands for the rule of law, which will return when he is back in the White House after he was elected with a massive mandate from the American people.” I agree wholeheartedly that we need to shorten the transition period, particularly in light of what’s happening today. The prolonged lame-duck phase has outlived its usefulness, and in its current form, it’s a breeding ground for mischief, as Guy Ciarrocchi eloquently points out.
