1. Yeah. Good luck with that.
You've got a better chance of getting single payer national health care and legalization of marijuana in all 50 states.

3. I'd like to hear that POTUS made a call to the gov. of Georgia. Not
that it would do any good, but at least he would be on the record for doing so...

5. The governor cannot issue a unilateral pardon
State law does not allow it.

7. A call to the Governor would do no good
since the Governor has no control over this.

But such a call COULD make things worse since it would unnecessarily politicize - or at least give the appearance of politicization - this situation.

Frankly, I'm not that interested in the President "going on the record" in cases like this. I want justice to be done - and in this instance, the President is irrelevant to the process.

4. Good. But why does it have to be that we let it get this far.
I can't believe this. I need to hold my tongue, because I have all kinds of thoughts about the people who are supporting the killing of Troy. This is sick. Not to mention he has already been in a cell for years and years.

Justice. Joke.

6. This is good news.
But with this Supreme Court, I can't say I like Mr. Davis's chances. :(

Or he will be when the SCOTUS has their say.
