Changing The Game

This is not so unusual as far as pardons go . All governors that have the power to pardon criminals give questionable pardons before they leave office. I think the public wants to know what criteria did Haley Barbour use to give more  than 200 before he left office? I could see if this was the first time it happened, but it isn't. In this case I think certain cases of notoriety caught the public eye. That made this case attract national media attention that it otherwise wouldn't have gotten. Namely the two sisters convicted to life sentences for their part in a Pizza Hut deliveryman robbery.

I think there is a hidden agenda here. This is totally out of character for a time tested and true, staunch Republican. The party's platform is generally the opposite.  They support truth in sentencing, holding criminals accountable for their crimes. In case you hadn't noticed. The demographics in the state of Mississippi is changing at a rapid pace. A black may soon reside in the governor's mansion. In the last race the nominated Democratic candidate was black.  They don't trust blacks and liberals to conduct business as usual.

The discussion has already started to reduce the scope of the governor's power. Republicans for the most part are keeping quiet. I think they recognize there is a method to this madness. Black liberals especially, better be careful what they're asking for. There will always be a strong Republican influence in Mississippi politics. What is going to happen when approval is needed to do something that's been going on for fifty years. Haley Barbour is changing the game.
