Pardon power needs to be removed.
Living in a place where this isn’t an option… It seems insane that one person can just override the entire judicial system. Baffling.
Or at least harder to use or something. I think it’s a good power for state governors to have, like if a state court hands down a death sentence I think it’s a good thing that governors can commute that if they feel they have a good reason. I think it’s good that, for example, Carter pardoned Vietnam draft resistors.
Pardons should always go before a large committee. The less concentration of power the better. The President can only recommend a pardon while giving sound reasoning why.
Yeah. Until the President replaces the committee with loyalists that rubber stamp each request.
No the pardoning power is fine. However the first time he used it inappropriately he should have been impeached. This is a failure of the far right Republican Party.
And yet on January 7th every MAGA coworker I had insisted that it was Antifa, not Trump supporters.
Right? Why the hell did Trump unilaterally pardon all the Antifa’s that did J6?
You should ask them why Pedonald keeps pardoning antifa.
Because we all know how upset Antifa was at the idea of Donald Trump leaving office and wanted to do everything they could to stop it
This is a fucking joke. US is a fucking joke. Law means nothing if you’re violating it on behalf of the powerful.
Now he’s gonna feel emboldened to really kill someone.
Now?! You been in cave?
