Rumblestone the Ultra Plebeian on Nostr: Presidential pardons have historically been for specific crimes committed and ...
Presidential pardons have historically been for specific crimes committed and sentences handed down for those crimes. Why hasn't the DOJ challenged the validity of Biden's "preemptive" pardons for any and all crimes known or unknown for a 10 year long range of time? How can this be legal? It can't be, or at least shouldn't be. At best, this is a bad precedent and should be challenged. So should the autopen pardons.
