Also from today's Washington Post, here is Illinois native George Will on the commutation of the death sentences of all Illinois death row inmates. Will calls this "another golden moment for liberals that underscores how many of their successes are tarnished by being explicity, even exuberantly, anti-democratic." As Will concludes, "Ryan will be remembered as one of Illinois' worst governors, which is saying something. He will be so remembered if not for his administration's improprieties then for his disregard of democratic values, and his cavalier laceration of the unhealable wounds of those who mourn the victims of the killers the state of Illinois condemned."
