Two days after President Joe Biden issued a blanket pardon to his son Hunter Biden, the federal judge overseeing the younger Biden's tax charges in California slammed the president's characterization of the case as an improper attempt to "rewrite history."

U.S. Judge Mark Scarsi -- who was appointed by Donald Trump -- took aim at President Biden's suggestion that "no reasonable person" would find the charging decisions against his son fair, noting that the "president's own attorney general and Department of Justice" oversaw the case.

"In the President's estimation," Scarsi continued, "this legion of federal civil servants, the undersigned included, are unreasonable people."

"The Constitution provides the President with broad authority to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States … but nowhere does the Constitution give the President the authority to rewrite history," Scarsi said.

To be a democrat is to trample the Constitution and American voter with impunity

Nothing they do is ever wrong, or against the law, or if it is, they pardon each other.

The R's couldn't have ever pursued the case against Hunter fully to a guilty verdict..

The facts would have completely exposed America's and Biden's complicity in starting the war, just as Trump has made clear.

you might be right, I believe Trump would of given Hunter a pardon.....and not to cover for the Xiden crime family, as much as simply trying to move American forward, like he did with the Clinton case.

well to be fair the Court said it was "potentially unconstitutional" - I believe what the Court is referring to is the 10 year blanket pardon.

That of course is not up to the Court to decide in this case, but that can be litigated in the future....

As far as I know the judicial branch has never ruled on the validity of "blanket" Presidential Pardons, the only case I know of before the Hunter Biden pardon was Gerry Ford blanket pardoning Nixon and I don't believe that was ever challenged.

Be an interesting case if it ever came before a court, after all pardoning someone for unspecified crimes is a bit squirrely.

Yeah, I don't believe the Nixon one was, since there never was any litigation or charges.

But, even this one was broader then Nixon's, this cover a decade, and was for a private citizen, not a govt official that may or maybe not of been acting in their official capacity .

Technically the pardon is legal. But that doesn't made it right. The pardon power should be abolished all together.

There was a chance of Nixon facing charges. He was likely going to be impeached. He resigned on the agreement that Ford would Pardon him.

Pardons are not unconstitutional, dipshit.

And if the judge does not know that, he should be unbenched promptly.

Tell it to the judge half wit

Now you and your minions will be forced to destroy the reputation of the judge.

Maybe find a woman who will testify he raped her, or is a MAGA type, etc., etc.

The judge should sue Joe Biden for defamation.

Essentially Joe is saying that the judge has unfairly persecuted him for being the son of Joe Biden.

And on the other end, why is Joe Biden and the DNC not looking to hold the judge to account by trying to remove him?

Or do we just watch what we always do, and that is monkeys slinging poo at each other with nothing ever accomplished other than verifying how dysfunctional the government is?

Why? Trump was convicted of an unspecified felony according to the airheads in NY!

You clearly have never read the Constitution.

Yeah, but he's only saying that because it's true.
