I think Joe might go whole hog and issue sweeping pardons for anyone he has ever met. Including Corn Pop.
And this might be good, because courts would really have to step up and issue a ruling about pre-emptive pardons for people who have not been accused of a crime. Yes, the president has sweeping powers to pardon — but what does that really mean? I’m thinking of the Second Amendment (”shall not be infringed”) and the courts that have decided that it’s OK to infringe in about a million ways. So, the president has sweeping powers to pardon? Maybe the courts would like to infringe on that in about a million ways.
“Including Corn Pop.”
Just out of curiosity. Has corn poop ever been shown to exist? If Trump told that story, platoons of journalists would have scoured the entire east coast trying to find him and put him on TV to sad violin music.
