President Obama, who campaigned with the heady pledge, “Yes, We Can!” has firmly stated “No, We Can’t” when it comes to using the executive office to correct injustice. A posthumous pardon of boxing’s first black heavyweight champion can’t be done because – as The Los Angeles Times puts it: [Posthumous pardons] consume precious time and resources [...] You’ve probably already read about the 4 year-old kid who got suspended from a Mesquite, TX school because his hair is too long.

Elliot Madison was arrested by Pennsylvania State Police and charged with hindering prosecution for Twittering the location of police during the G20 conference in Pittsburgh, allegedly allowing demonstrators to evade arrest and eventual beatdowns.
