Alright, ABF, this right here is the second HUGE thing Biden has done, at least as far as securing party votes this November. First, the sheer simple logistics. Prisoners that are pardoned and freed can now vote. Secondly, well, everyone affected such as friends and family will see real benefits right now, at a kitchen table which now includes more loved ones than before.
This isn't legalizing it, but it's a big move. I may not agree that presidential pardoning powers should exist, but if it's going to, this is how it should be used.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
