So you’re comparing me to Forrest Gump, the hero of the story, running away from the rock-throwing bullies? So in this analogy doesn’t that make you one of the bullies? Don’t think ya thought that one through, Shrekkie.... “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

I just hope that he tosses Tiger King Joe Exotic a pardon, since he's going on a pardon spree anyway. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | Curious to see if this will lead to a court fight over whether or not you can pardon someone for something that they have neither been charged with or convicted of, or for what they may have done. I think what Ford did for Nixon was wrong, but it was never challenged. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

I'd say that set the precedent, but it also set something of a precedent for not self-pardoning, in a roundabout way. Those things aside, judging by some of the pardons that have been granted, it would seem that the only thing you can't pardon for is a future act. It seems that the issue of actually having to be guilty of something is a settled matter (Myth #1) and it also goes on to say that a pardon is not even necessarily an admission of guilt: https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/five-myths/five-myths-about-presidential-pardons/2018/06/06/18447f84-69ba-11e8-bf8c-f9ed2e672adf_story.html The one thing that I don't understand about so-called Conservatives arguing in favor of a self-pardon is why they can't grasp the notion of how fundamentally little sense such a thing makes. Several reasons: 1.) In the case of the POTUS, it invalidates the entire intent behind checks and balances. 2.) There's a perfectly accepted (at least once) legal mechanism to accomplish the same thing: Trump could resign and Pence could pardon him. The one thing that might be a wildcard, for all we know, is whether or not Pence actually would. 3.) The fact that an acting POTUS could then (in the future) do literally anything and then just pardon himself provided he does so before being removed from office by one mechanism or another. Why would a Conservative, who should theoretically favor limited Government, want to put the POTUS, any POTUS, completely above the law?
