REBOOT THE SYSTEM??
If Obama does as you seem to suggest, that we acknowledge that some wrong was done but we have to let bygones be bygones, reboot the system so to speak, then we have admitted in the full light of day that we have a multitiered legal system, not blind justice.

Hypocrite Extraordinaire
In Texas Bush executed with pleasure a born- again Christian (like himself) named Karla Fay Tucker.

Swinging with Passion Makes for Bad Case Law

But while one may want zealousness in one’s representation in the legal arena, passion in deciding law is dangerous, if not outright foolishness. Passions are swayed. Passions are fired up.

Orcs yet hope

Democrats in Congress Failed Us All 8 Years
The Democrats and Democratic Party failed to stand up for what is right for the entire eight years of the Bush / Cheney White House misrule.
