I don't like blanket pardons. Maybe outgoing governor or president submits a list and legislature approves or disapproves individuals.

Completely defeats the purpose and independence of the pardon power from the judicial and legislative branches.

Just on President alone, There's a reason why the framers made the President's pardon power independent of Congress and the Judiciary and that is to check the excesses of those two branches.
