The White House, however, has repeatedly asserted that legislation is the only way to address sentencing concerns across the board.

“The individual nature of the clemency process underscores both its incredible power to change a person’s life, but also its inherent shortcoming as a tool for broader sentencing reform,” Eggleston writes in a blog post to be posted regarding Wednesday’s commutations. “That is why action from Congress is so important. While we continue to work to act on as many clemency applications as possible, only legislation can bring about lasting change to the federal system. It is critical that both the House and the Senate continue to work on a bipartisan basis to get a criminal justice reform bill to the president's desk.”

Yeah, good luck with that. We have a Congress that can't even act on confirming a vacancy on the SCOTUS. VOTE THE ASSHOLES OUT!
