      I mean, a small crack is detrimental to the whole. One today, maybe not another for a while, but a crack looks to be forming. Not a lot, but it’s something.

    Giving Congress power to do stuff is a waste of fucking time. They have had the power to do many things and don’t. Even even is supposedly specifically THEIR power to wield they have let trump use it himself

    The bill was introduced by Rep. Johnny Olszewski (D-MD) last December and would allow for a minimum of 20 House members and five senators to call for congressional review of a pardon, which would lead to a 60-day deadline for Congress to nullify that pardon with a two-thirds majority vote – similar to a veto override.

    Listen, I think it’s great that we’re breaking the taboo of pardons being somehow sacrosanct.

    But there’s exactly one person I can think of that would get 2/3rd of the Congress off their assess to block clemency against.

    Anyway to reverse prior ones like the J6 terrorists?

    How many crimes have they committed since (besides the crime of attacking our government over being butthurt about losing).
