nobody is going to Pardon him .. it would be political suicide. He has more chance of being abducted by aliens from the prison yard ..

Well with the exception that someday in the future they perform a Colombia and start legalizing all sorts of drugs and switch to a regulated model, not that I expect to see that happen for a few more decades.

Still won't happen even if everything was legalised. They don't release people due to law changes. And he's not just some guy selling pot from his garage. By operating SR he was thumbing his nose at the powers that be. They have long, long memories for that type of thing.

Agreed that Ross has a bleak future, but if "if everything was legalised" a libertarian President could pardon over a million people in jail for victimless crimes. (?)
Do pardons have to be for individuals, or can a USA President do a sweeping pardon of all people convicted of certain crimes, both State and Federal?

probably have to do a sweep, or else biased towards the rich and famous
