You can only grant amnesty to actual criminals (as Caldera's administration did to the former FALN), not imagined ones; these political prisoners should simply be released. There is little the legislative power can do here except change the laws regarding the sentences and those who keep political prisoners in jail (the courts, the executive).2323543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-74239997693311427572010-03-01T20:40:44.550+01:002010-03-01T20:40:44.550+01:00This American agrees; Good luck passing amnesty wh...This American agrees; Good luck passing amnesty when your majority is in the gulag.GeronLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145189615256636055noreply@blogger.com
