If I'm correct, that makes this a really sad commentary on the US political landscape.
Welfare for lawyers.
State is throwing their favorite constituency some work. Sounds good to the Christians they pander to also. I can assure you personally there are damn few Iowa state legislators that would meet any reasonable (from his viewpoint) Mr. Vander Plaatz's Christian piety standards he might care to test them on.
(he's the one that tried to shame Newt Gingrich on his open and notorious adultery, back in the day a few years ago when there were still a few Christians holding a rear guard action on that all too soon to be acceptable sin)
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
