  1. Considerations about executive amnesty:

    This date, November 20 coincides with the Islamic date Safar 27/28...Safar (صفر) is the second month in the Islamic calendar.

    Literal meaning: Empty. During this month the houses used to be empty and deserted because the ban on going to war in the month of Muharram came to an end and everyone proceeded towards the battlefield. Some people have superstitious beliefs regarding this month i.e. it is a month of misfortune and calamities.
    Historic events on this date:
    27 Safar, Migration (Hijrah) from Makkah to Madinah by Muhammad
    28 Safar, Martyrdom of Imam Hasan ibn ‘Alī, grandson of Muhammad and 5th Caliph of Islam
    *****
    The coincidence of where this violation of our Constitution is broadcast shrinks in scope when considering the coincidence of an anniversary significant to the audience to which he panders...Mexican National Revolution Day: November 20, 1910.
