Jerry Brown’s pardons

Post by RiverguyVT »

What am I missing here? Can a state governor pardon federal criminals?
So I put (the dead dog) on her doorstep!
Salute the Marines
Soon we'll have planes that fly 22000 mph

No, just like the president can't pardon state crimes

Well, then, what's with all the noise over his "pardons" then? I don't get it

I'm assuming that the basis of the illegal aliens' deportation was that they committed state crimes. If you are an illegal alien and you, say, commit armed robbery, then that makes you a priority for deportation, even though it's just a state crime, not a federal crime.

Jerry Brown's view is that he would rather have armed robbers released back onto the streets rather than deported and so he is pardoning them.
