I don't know if Bad Orange Man should totally pardon. Commutation to 12 months might be good. OTOH, given the outrageous nature of the arrest, the bad behavior of the Deep Staters at DOJ, the obvious bias of the judge, including violating Stone's First Amendment rights, yeah, go for the full pardon -- with a big White House in-your-face ceremony.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

Originally posted by JimL View PostJust the opposite, though I don't expect the fact that Trump is a wannabe dictator to ever seep through that biased mindset of yours, even though it's happening right before your eyes. But I suspect that there may be others who, unlike yourself, haven't lost their minds completely.

Originally posted by JimL View PostYes, and there was a long and bitter fight over the granting of this "kingly" power to the President fearing that a wannabe dictator like Trump would come along and abuse it for his own purposes. The Framers felt it was necessary in certain cases in order to heal the nation such as Washinton did when pardoning members of the Whiskey rebellion, or Lincohn did when pardoning confederate generals etc. Presidents have abused it, but no president has abused it like Trump has, for his own political purposes, to cover his own crimes. A Trump was the Framers greatest fear, and I think it's time to modify the process, perhaps involving the Congress in some way.

Trump - pardoned 25, communed the sentences of 10
OMG! Trump is abusing his pardon powers!
To add an interesting case here Thomas Jefferson pardoned every last person convicted under the Sedition Act. Even though that is pretty much a slap in the face to John Adams and the Federalist Party, nobody today seems to think he was being a king. Was Jefferson being a king, Jimmy because that is far more brazen than anything Trump has done with his pardon powers.Last edited by lilpixieofterror; 02-21-2020, 10:41 AM."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.
