Miss. Supreme Court rules Barbour pardons valid

[atreides1]

4. So there should be no rules?

Like this:

"At the heart of the pardon dispute was Section 124 of the Mississippi Constitution, which says "no pardon shall be granted" by the governor until the convicted felon applying for the pardon publishes notice of that application for 30 days in a newspaper in or near the county where the crime was committed."

What good is this if one man can make the decision without following a Constitutional requirement? And I didn't notice any consideration on your part regarding the families of the victims, and how they might feel!

I don't have a problem with the 198 that he pardoned, seeing as they were already done serving their sentences...those inmates who committed murder and were working at the governor's mansion...that's where I think that the requirements under the State Constitution should have been followed.

But, what the hell...the victims and their families don't matter...besides Barbour couldn't get out of Mississippi fast enough to get to K Street up here in DC!
