President Joe Biden, thank you for your long and honorable service to the nation. We ask you to muster one last great act of leadership: commute to life in prison without parole the sentences of the 40 inmates currently on federal death row. Seize this moment as your final chance to show the courage of your convictions and do as your faith counsels you. Justice will still be served, with those inmates suffering a lifetime of punishment. And you can rest easy, knowing that you did the right thing to the end. Be bold, act without fear, and show grace.
