. . . “cases of impeachment.” This phrase is often interpreted to mean that a president cannot use his pardon power to stop an impeachment case of someone else from proceeding in Congress. But the phrase should also be interpreted as preventing the worst abuse of the pardon power: an impeached president’s pardoning of cronies who have been convicted of crimes related to the president’s own wrongdoing.

The Supreme Court has never ruled on the meaning of the impeachment exception to the pardon power because such a pardon of a co-conspirator by a president who has been impeached is unprecedented.
If anyone is going to test the limits of how much power he can demonstrate, it would be him. He doesn't care how it looks. As long as he can get away with it. Stack the court, abuse your power, then get the SCOTUS to say . . . "oh well. Lifetime tenure bitches!"

The writer of this piece is a kike isn't he? Who else is sick of the Jews and the media? Bloodsucking parasites. I'm sure Trump's son in law hates him too. Time to turn on the showers and fire the oven. The allies wiped out the wrong regime.

this guy is full of shit. if Trump had been removed from office he'd be right. but Trump wasn't so he's just another revisionist asshole Law tard prof .. like Obama!

as long as Trump is the sitting president he can pardon anyone on the federal level. for any reason he wants. Bernie Madoff is begging for a pardon. i rather doubt Trump will pardon him. a report just the other day said about 80% of the money lost has been recovered. about 65% had already been disbursed with another batch in progress.


Trump won't pardon him, if he does i'd actually disagree with it. it wasn't a victimless crime. that asshole affected a lot of people's lives with that scam. many have died by now without any restitution. if Madoff had run a legit biz he'd probably be a billionaire now. at the least very well off. but no!! that was too hard! asshole. i want him to die in prison.


here is why he's a revisionist asshole who's full of shit ..


"But the phrase should also be interpreted as preventing the worst abuse of the pardon power: an impeached president’s pardoning of cronies who have been convicted of crimes related to the president’s own wrongdoing."


again .. he's full of shit. Trump was NOT found guilty of any wrongdoing. he was acquitted!


CASE .. DISMISSED!

this hardly surprises me. your racism and prejudice is a clear and present danger to society. the next time you want to confront a prejudiced racist and look them in the eye don't cut yourself shaving.

do you think that would blow up their minds?

Sad for him and EVEN SADDER FOR THEM! They actually believe he's qualified to run a one-car funeral?

Biden will be accompanied by AOC to the inauguration in 2021 - invited or no

remember when first elected - AOC spouted she would go to DC to be inaugurated and sign bills.

The LSM cannot wait for it.
