General Discussion

Why should an insurrectionist be given preferential treatment? Let the courts (slowly) decide if she should be released early with "time served." You can bet that a newly discovered and completely innocent inmate would still be sitting in prison, waiting on justice to move at a snail's pace.

As for the Governor's stunt, he should own his actions. He has freedom of speech. He is also subject to the consequences of his words and deeds. If you give insurrectionists an inch, then they will be part of a successful coup next time.
