“The last remnants of the old republic have been swept away.”
No thanks we don’t need the next 0bongo pardoning Mumia etc,
How much broader can it get? The President can literally pardon any person for any federal crime for any reason. The only exception to that is impeachment. What he can't do is pardon for state crimes.
“What he can’t do is pardon for state crimes.”
That is true, but has never been directly determined by the Supreme Court.
We may soon arrive at a point in the current constitution crisis, that would be ongoing coup against the president, where that question should be answered.
Pardon for a state indictment or conviction and take to the Supreme Court.
I think the 10th Amendment is pretty clear on that.
No way Jose.
This is crazy talk. This is the kind of talk that gets used to paint a target on Conservatives. If the rule of law is to exist then we must set the example & work within the law. It is more difficult than the way of the left but it is the essential difference between right & wrong.
