On another political frolic, the marginalized poseurs could not control their desire to weigh in on the Stone commutation. Although Obama's commutation of Manning's espionage sentence didn't bother them one whit, this one "undermines justice." Never mind that commutations of sentences always negate punishments put in place via normal criminal process. What matters is whether the ABA thinks the criminal's conduct should have been OK. Here, the added irony is that ABA should take such great offense at Stone's dishonesty in lying to Congress (something the ABA does each and every time it provides testimony while purporting to represent the legal profession in this country).
