Biden commutes sentences of 37 federal death row inmates in final month of presidency

Not if Biden is NOT functional.  If the Supreme Court rules Biden was NOT functional mentally, therefore could not render any decision that comes with the office, I say it is worth doing.  These 37 murderers were NOT wrongly accused and found guilty, they have earned the death penalty.

It could be well argued if we had a justice system at all, all 37 would have been long dead.  Instead, the loved ones of the people brutally murdered are tormented further by justice not being served.  F*** Biden.  The man only knows how to break the law.  He is the single most corrupt POTUS in history, and this act will destroy any hope he had of a legacy.

And in fact, it tarnishes the whole idea of pardons carried out by a POTUS.

Two federal death row inmates refuse Biden's commutation in continued fight to prove their innocence
Shannon Agofsky, 53, and Len Davis, 60, said in court documents that they never requested commutation
 By Landon Mion Fox News

Two of the 37 inmates on federal death row whose sentences were commuted to life without parole last month by President Biden are rejecting clemency.

Shannon Agofsky, 53, and Len Davis, 60, who are both in the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, are refusing to sign the paperwork to accept the president's clemency action due to the legal avenues they are afforded on death row, according to court documents.

The pair filed emergency motions in federal court on Dec. 30 requesting an injunction to block the change to their death sentences, saying that accepting their commutations would remove the heightened scrutiny that death penalty appeals receive.

Heightened scrutiny is a legal process in which the courts examine cases like death penalty appeals closer for errors because these cases are a matter of life or death.

that's not how it works. The decision on mental function is not for the court to decide, that must be decided by invoking the 25th Amendment, which must be done by the Vice President and Cabinet.

Also, ex post facto and double jeopardy are both explicitly unconstitutional, so these decisions are final.
