This is amusing. If people were locked up for being gay, or black, or
somesuch, if there were such a law prohibiting those conditions on the
books, and a less statist president took office, you would presumably
oppose the pardoning of all such "criminals."

Oh, you wouldn't? Then you're not concerned about "checks and
balances," but you just don't like full drug legalization.
