You want to go that route? Then it started with his mother giving birth to him.
Giving birth to someone is a reach for placing fault.
Actually COMMITTING THE CRIME isn't a reach for placing fault.
The entire justice system situation began upon the point where this individual broke a law. That's when the justice system begins.
Had the sentence that was given to him not been exceedingly and grossly larger than it should have been then who knows what would've happened in regards to the commutation.
Yet you don't want to acknowledge that.
You want to say that Huckabee overturned a "lawful punishment" while ignoring the fact that what Huckabee did was ALSO lawful.
Why was one lawful, but possibly negligent thing (a grossly over the top jail sentence), something you'll happily ignore, forgive, and not even mention but another lawful but possibly negligent thing (commuting his sentence), something you want to crucify a man for?
The focus is on his sentence being commuted allowing him to get out early. That began with Huckabee.
That's the focus
YOU want because it fits your little hatchet job against a politician you don't like because you don't view him as "conservative enough" (which is funny, cause others are going at him because he's a "extreme right winger").
You're right, the commutation was done by Huckabee, that falls on him.
That doesn't mean the entire justice cycle started with him, nor does that place the blame squarely on his shoulders by any stretch.
If a horrible, crippling, just constitution trashing bill just got passed who would you blame? The President for signing it into law? The congress for voting it forward? The Committe for voting it to the floor? The person that sponsored it? The firm that lobbied and wrote it? All of the above?
I'm going to guess you'd place the blame all of the above despite the fact it "started" at the lobbying firm. I'm sure you wouldn't be giving Obama and Pelosi a pass because sure, they were wrong for passing it on, but if it wasn't there in the first place it wouldn't have happened.
Yet here you want to essentially ignore EVERYONE else in line, even the criminal it seems, to squarely and largely place it singularly on Huckabee's shoulders.
It started with the Criminal doing a crime. Huckabee was one person in a long line of people that made a bad decision which led to this person having the oppertunity to do his latest crime.
