Watch, the first person caught up in this will be a Democrat. Then they will whine like stick pigs about the unfairness.
The blatant racist cuomo passes a law while shouting out that trump is a racist for not warning ILLEGALS to flow into our country-
these liberal racists are so blinded by hate, they can’t even see their own hypocrisy!
Does this really change anything? Are there actually identical state and federal charges for any given crime? Can’t the state already charge someone pardoned by the president if state charges apply? Like the cops in the Rodney King case, but in reverse order?
First thought; The state of NY can’t change the US President’s Constitutional pardoning powers. Second thought; look what a number of states have done to the Second Amendment, they’ve decimated it. The
SCOTUS refuses to hear challenges to the states nullifying much of the 2nd and very likely scotus won’t hear any challenge to this issue either.
they are panicking
Trump needs to get off his ass and start pushing the cases forward
start CHARGING people already
LIBS/DIMS are such inveterate a’holes. They only exist to be humiliated, crushed, ridiculed and made irrelevant. Jerks doesn’t begin to describe these malignancies on civil society.
Now that would be interesting.
Precedent for a violation of interstate commerce. This is a brazen attack by a state on federal officials. NYC wants to sue people who are out of state. I 5hought this was abolished with pursuit of blacks to be brought to slavery from accross state lines?
By the way the MSS Chicoms kidnap people in Hong Kong the same way
Meanwhile, state and local corruption is running amok in NYS, and Albany either aids and abets, covers up, or ignores.
I wish Cuomo would run for prez. It might get some of it exposed to daylight and cleaned up.
What do you say about a person who is already labeled a scumbag
” Are there actually identical state and federal charges for any given crime? “
In many cases there are because States cannot enforce fed law. However, to simply saw State law is fed law won’t stand the challenge.
The Fifth Amendment says that no person shall “be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” Therefore state and federal crimes must be different or they cannot try a person twice for the same “crime.” That’s why in the Rodney King case the police were first tried for assault crimes by the state then later of violating the civil rights of Rodney King by the feds. I don’t see how this law changes anything unless the presidential pardon were to occur before a trial on federal charges were brought, as in Ford’s preemptive pardon of Nixon.
What they are trying to say is that State law is anything and everything that is federal law. So, if Trump pardons someone for a federal law crime, New York thinks it can prosecute for the same crime.
Problem is, New York State doesn’t have jurisdiction in most cases of federal law, so this law wouldn’t even stand a jurisdiction challenge.
They need to write the law to say it only applies to those pardoned by a President that democrats don’t like.
I guess I assumed even democrats wouldn’t be that brazenly insane. Silly me.
I read the NBC article referenced in the main Hotair article. I’m not so sure this law does what you says it does after all. In fact I think it’s just for show, like the impeachment inquiry that isn’t really an impeachment inquiry. The last sentence of the NBC article reads “While presidents can pardon federal crimes, they cannot pardon state offenses.” This law does nothing and if they try to make state law cover federal offenses that won’t fly.
These are the birds who consider the constitution to be a “living document”, which means it can—and must—be changed whenever the mood strikes them.
But democrats when they change the rules always wind up getting bit in the ass. And it’s a glorious thing to watch.

If it happens, the (Democrat) NY Prosecutor will not prosecute.
