We also tell them it's the President's obligation to conduct foreign policy and not be interfered with by meddling congresscritters.

Yeah, I know - those damn pesky LAWS kept getting in the way of Reagan/Bush. Good thing they could use the power of the pardon to show everyone that the laws don't apply to them.

Heh, pretty funny. Of course, the Boland Amendment was the biggest joke of all, by virtue of its turning legitimate policy disagreements between Republicans and Democrats into criminal violations. Apparently, the Democratic playbook back then was to just figure out where your opponents stand and then criminalize their stance.

Make your political opponents acting on their opinions and beliefs a criminal offense. Oh yeah, they really seized the moral high ground there, you bet.

Oh, Please...............

Laws worship by Liberal. What an oxymoron. The highest(?) form of Liberal action is flaunting of laws and societal convention. For every "law" that Reagan/Bush/whomever broke or stretched, one can find a corresponding instance of Liberal 'illegality' to counter.

Since it appears that you worship the "law", perhaps you'd have insisted on the arrest and conviction of Rosa Parks. After all, she violated the "law".

Sanctimonious whining is very unbecoming. Have a tissue. It's free.
