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

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I agree. It doesn't. In fact, I always thought there HAD to be a crime before a Pardon could be issued. But...... These are strange times and I believe SCOTUS has ruled on it.

That was where your error occurred.

While this is a very dangerous precedent, Trump should use it.

Blanket pardons are now a thing.

(Insert name) is pardoned for any crime they did or did not commit for (insert date range).

Trump can have a field day with that.

He should definitely pardon his family forever, because the next Dem who will get into office will weaponize the DOJ AND JAIL THE TRUMP FAMILY.

They must be pardoned.

You added a word in there that doesn't exist. Take the word "future" out, and you nailed it!

What You or I think is irrelevant. The Pardons stand.

We need to call each and every one of them because now, they can't plead the 5th. And there is no provision for refusing to testify because you don't want to incriminate OTHERS

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

It's common knowledge.

There is no way you can incriminate yourself if you're immune from prosecution.

Congress needs to call each and every one of them and find out who all their partners-in-crime were/are. If the refuse to testify, they can be jailed. If they perjure themselves, they can be jailed.

But can you be required to testify? I would like to see the SCOTUS case where that was decided. That's all.

I'm sure glad we have you around to catch all those errors

Finally! Some one else gets it! Bravo Colonel!

That's my job! Educating the ignorant.

 

[Rawley]

Is it rational to believe something without any evidence to support it?

I don't think so.

You funny. LOL

 

[Edgetho]

Why wouldn't they be required to testify if they're subpoenaed? I don't understand your reasoning on that one.

Completely irrelevant to what I said.

I want to see the case where this was decided as I am unaware of that ever happening. Got a link so I can peruse it?

 

[Marener]

You funny. LOL

You’re irrational.

 

[Nostra]

That was where your error occurred.

“Crimes against the United States”, Simp.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Exactly not. Identify where the Comstitution provides for pre-emptive pardons.

Identify where the Constitution does not!

 

[Hollie]

You added a word in there that doesn't exist. Take the word "future" out, and you nailed it!

If pardons can be retroactive for unnamed offenses why not pre-emptive?

Is there anything in the Constituion that prohibits such a thing?

 

[Nostra]

But can you be required to testify? I would like to see the SCOTUS case where that was decided. That's all.

Yes, they can be called, and they have given up their 5th Amendment rights since they have immunity.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Weren't articles of impeachment under debate and ready for vote by the time Ford Pardoned Nixon?

Irrelevant as those where never implemented.

 

[Hollie]

Identify where the Constitution does not!

I can't. Not trying to because that would conflict with the very nature of the Constitution.

 

[Nostra]

Irrelevant as those where never implemented.

Pardons can’t cover impeachments. Read the Constitution.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

What other offenses was Nixon under investigation for.

You note you have no countering argument to the link. Try offering g something more than, "nuh ugh"

What offenses was he under investigation for? He was charged with articles of impeachment written but never considered. A big nothing burger!
