You have made a good point about state police under Jeb Bush being fearful of clashing with the state judge. Therefore, Jeb should have asked that his brother intervene to overrule the constitutional crisis in FL. Not intervening cedes the power to the judiciary.
I suppose that if Jeb had tried to use pardon power, the state courts would have immediately struck him down on that too.
Maybe the problem is that the FL governorship is institutionally weak, something often said of the TX office as well.
might be...some states governors have more power than in other ones...I'm not up on the nuances of the Florida constitution. I don't think I like how Florida does its business.
I don't plan on living there in the near future, that's for sure.
Are pardons revocable?
