There should be a requirement that DUers try to understand the immunity decision before they post about it. onenote Nov 2024 #70

Also, SCOTUS gave themselves the power to Dark n Stormy Knight Nov 2024 #81

Not sure what that has to do with the post I was addressing onenote Nov 2024 #82

It is on the same theme: poor comprehension of Dark n Stormy Knight Nov 2024 #83

The problem is that he can't be prosecuted while president and after seems to be too difficult. Lonestarblue Nov 2024 #91

Actually, Biden should give full pardon to everyone Trump threatens for Demsrule86 Nov 2024 #3

Would the orange shitbag honor any pardon granted zuul Nov 2024 #25

EXACTLY. Biden should pardon every Democrat in the US government, and every comedian Trump hates. ancianita Nov 2024 #105

The pardon is good. The other is a stunt that won't gain us anything, IMO. Silent Type Nov 2024 #5

I think it would be good for party morale. Jack Valentino Nov 2024 #8

At this point what do we have to lose? n/t tinymontgomery Nov 2024 #16

I think we aim for mid-terms, reevaluate some issues, and forget about useless stunts. Silent Type Nov 2024 #17

So keeping Hunter out of jail is a useless stunt? tinymontgomery Nov 2024 #21

Im afraid trump will jump the line and impose himself early. Srkdqltr Nov 2024 #14

Can't. We still hold the levers of power. paleotn Nov 2024 #45

and exactly how do you think he could do that? onenote Nov 2024 #68

I can't believe his people haven't thought about it. Im sure Bidens folks have too. Srkdqltr Nov 2024 #95

Not possible. Elessar Zappa Nov 2024 #88

Pardon Nancy Pelosi, Hunter, Kamala, Doug Emhoff, Ilsa Nov 2024 #20

For what? They have never been convicted for crimes. Emile Nov 2024 #131

Blanket, pre-emptive pardons in the event Ilsa Nov 2024 #134

That would be saying they are guilty of something. Emile Nov 2024 #144

Trump has already brainwashed his followers Ilsa Nov 2024 #145

Still you need a conviction in order to pardon. Emile Nov 2024 #146

Didn't trump issue pardons to Ilsa Nov 2024 #166

First I heard of that. What were they guilty of where Emile Nov 2024 #171

You read my mind Retrograde Nov 2024 #23

We still control the Senate. Seems they could make a rapid confirmation Jack Valentino Nov 2024 #28

Yeah, I momentarily forgot about that. Oh well. Jack Valentino Nov 2024 #34

Maybe not Polybius Nov 2024 #40

That would be cool, even if the only thing it means is that it renders all of his 45-47 swag invalid. Wounded Bear Nov 2024 #24

Fine. First fire 5 SCOTUS for cause, the remaining 4 decide it follows current law. Festivito Nov 2024 #125

You apparently lack a basic level of understanding of the Constitution. onenote Nov 2024 #156

You apparently lack a basic level of understanding of the word only. Festivito Nov 2024 #159

Physically incarcerating them would be unlawful and blocked/reversed immediately. So they wouldn't resign. onenote Nov 2024 #160

You insist that lower courts supersede the supreme court. We disagree there. Festivito Nov 2024 #163

Huh? The justices that you think can be summarily removed aren't going to be removed. onenote Nov 2024 #164
