That is pretty much an ideological split. I mean, found not guilty of aiding the enemy, plead guilty to many of the charges, didn't flee like some others. I can understand disagreeing with it, but it's far from traitorous. That is just biased hyperbole.

All non-violent offenders, though, right? And everything I've read about their commutation just references marijuana. With the way that tide is turning, they probably won't be able to make a business out of it.
