President Obama commutes 46 non-violent drug offenders' sentences.

One of his rare good moves. There is zero reason that a non-violent drug offender should get life in prison, unless they can be proven to be involved in a cartel or something extreme.

But yeah, his role should be to take on the most extreme cases like this and use his bully pulpit to push for sentencing reform, not to commute thousands of sentences and essentially rewrite the laws on his own.

Not only is this too small a number, he should have pardoned them rather than simply commuted their sentence. It's going to be hard for them to adjust to life on the outside if they still have any sort of criminal record.

I still hold out hope that there might be a mass pardon of non-violent drug offenders on his last day in office. Hopefully this was a trail run.

Why do they deserve pardons? They're large-scale drug offenders.

Their sentences were excessive, that's the only problem here.
