Are Biden's issuance of presidential pardons going too far?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

It does say for Offenses. That means offenses are known, thus prompting the pardon.

Sorry, offenses defines a specific
Term.

No, it doesn't. It could mean in general. I'm glad we figured that out for you. Too many assumptions.

Trump issued a pardon to Roger Stone and Manfort....

Get serious...

Biden isn't defending himself but defending innocent Americans from a vengeful President...

This is sensible and good by Biden...

We are seeing his head of FBI and AG and they no morals or respect for the institutions they are joining...

Bondi claimed pure ignorance of Birthright Citizenship... Like she never heard of it, she is becoming AP..

Biden is protecting criminals who misused and abused the justice system for political ends.

It doesn't matter.... people who have been pardoned are probably under a lot more legal Jeopardy after the pardon then before it since they can no longer plead the fifth.

The investigative committees will go after everyone that they were connected to using them as witnesses to testify and if they don't cooperate the pardon does not cover that.

SCOTUS DOES!!!!

Nope!

 

[struth]

Same with Fauci and Milley
Innocent until proven guilty

Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt.

Burdick v United States


The Supreme Court's opinion stated that a pardon carries "an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it,"

Trump’s DoJ has no authority to overrule Biden’s exercise of constitutional power.

/---/ Perhaps you're right. I'm not an attorney.

You don’t have to be. It’s common sense.

 

[SeaMajor7]

Nope!

Because you say so?!?!?!?!?!?!?????
GTFOH

Identify where the Constitution provides the ability of a president to grant pardons retroactively for offenses that might or might not have occurred.

The Constitution grants the president the ability to grant pardons for Offenses.

Xiden's own DOJ said he was too senile to be prosecuted. With that level of mental disorder, nothing Xiden has done since has any legal merit

/----/ Maybe the pardons will be challenged because of Biden's mental state. He didn't realize what he was doing, OR the pardons were written by his staff, and Joe didn't know what was going on.
This ain't over folks.

 

[Marener]

Prosecuted for what? For an offense prompting a pardon?

What is the purpose of a judicial system if pre-emptive pardons make a judicial system meaningless?

Prosecuted for anything really. Do pardons make the judicial system meaningless? No. The founders didn’t think so.

 

[Marener]

Identify where the Constitution provides the ability of a president to grant pardons retroactively for offenses that might or might not have occurred.

All pardons apply to things that happened in the past.

The offenses being pardoned are any an all.

 

[Hollie]

No, it doesn't. It could mean in general. I'm glad we figured that out for you. Too many assumptions.

Of course it does. The Constitution grants the power of presidential pardons for offenses. The Constitution doesn't identify offenses that may or may not have occurred in the past or might occur in the future.

Glad to help with your confusion.

How very fascist that you think you can declare a former presidents actions to be void.

 

[JGalt]

Trump’s DoJ has no authority to overrule Biden’s exercise of constitutional power.

Once again, Biden's pardons aren't going to protect anyone from future process crimes, like lying to Congress.

Happens all the time.....look at what Xiden and Harris did as soon as they took office, undid all the border security measures Trump put into place to keep Americans healthy and safe.

THey undid it, and gave us record covid deaths

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Blame Ford. He set the precedent.

Trump is the one who set the precedent for thinking he can tell the DoJ to go after his political enemies.

Nixon was actually charged with 3 crimes!

 

[Oddball]

How? The Constitution is explicit.

So are basic precepts and presumptions of the law.

 

[Hollie]

All pardons apply to things that happened in the past.

The offenses being pardoned are any an all.

What offenses? Ones that anyone could claim to have occurred in the past?

How convenient. A "retroactive pardon" for offenses that maybe, kinda' sorta' occurred or maybe not.

So, we can agree that the pardon for Hunter Biden included offenses he committed in the past, we just have to guess what those offenses are.

Super.

 

[Hollie]

Nixon was actually charged with 3 crimes!

So. Nixon was charged and pardoned for offenses that were identified.

How strange.

 

[rightwinger]

/----/ I think Trump's DOJ will see if these pardons pass muster. Even if they do, they all can be called to Congress to testify under oath. If they purjur themselves, the pardon won't help them

A pardon is a pardon…pure and simple
Partisan Republicans can call anyone they want

They will come p empty, just like they did in their attempt to pin something on Biden
