BTW, this is the "most read" opinion piece as of this posting...
Ford pardoned Nixon before any indictment.
F***ing lunacy. The executive branch needs to assert itself over the judicial branch. The judicial branch is not superior. The court has no authority anymore over Joe.
If Bolton were to follow Joe around, she might can get him on jaywalking.
Ping to delusional libs trying to litigate Trumps pardon of Sheriff Arpaio...and linking the pardon to “Russia collusion”!
She needs to be arrested.
“...from critics of his racist rhetoric...”
Stopped reading right there.
And it will apply worldwide. Because she said so....
The Constitutional Pardon Power is absolute. There is no “review.”
[Lurking in the background is the potential for Trump to pardon associates involved in the probe of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials and the possible obstruction of justice that followed. The Arpaio pardon may well have been an attempt to signal to those officials and ex-officials that they can resist inquiries with the assurance that Trump will pardon them.]
And the pressholes pull another one out of their a**es.
“never before has someone stretched the pardon power so beyond its original intent. “
How so?
Waste of time.
Pardoning someone is NOT denying them life, liberty, or property ... so due process does not enter into it.
Meanwhile, the left is all too happy to deny due process in matters of asset forfeiture.
Jennifer Rubin is the house “conservative” at the execrable Washington Post. I have never seen her write a thing that is conservative, unless you consider advocacy for endless foreign interventions in wars where we don’t belong “conservative”.
The only thing that makes this case unusual is that the pardon was issued before the defendant (Arpaio) was even sentenced. So there's still an active case on the court docket, and the judge is telling the prosecution in the case (the U.S. Justice Dept.) how it wants to proceed. Despite Arpaio's pardon, his legal team's motion to dismiss the conviction is still before the court.
Politicized Federal Judiciary again shows its out of control. They will twist themselves in knots to try and deny Trump a clear Constitutional prerogative of his position.
It’s time to have impeachment on this judge.
If we had an aggressive DOJ that supported the President, they would be looking at options to remove judges who have stopped enforcing the law and are engaged in personnel vendettas or making up the law.
Bolton is well known in Arizona as a radical activist judge.
Good. I hope she's right. They SHOULD all keep quiet, as the Obama criminals always have. Frankie Five Angels...everything's gonna be ok.
