A judge can not quash a pardon. And a pardon can come at any point in the process.

But a pardon does not erase the conviction, it only removes the consequences of a crime.

There have been several Supreme Court cases involving pardons. The first in 1833. In that case Chief Justice Marshall said, “A pardon is an act of grace, proceeding from the power entrusted with the execution of the laws, which exempts the individual on whom it is bestowed from the punishment the law inflicts for a crime he has committed.”

Send an email or call to the WH about pardoning all mil who broke the evil ROE.

Not sure what you mean by bunkerville boys, but all the Bundy people just won their court case.

"It was the right thing to do."

The best thing Trump has done to date, in my book.

Now draining the swamp would be better, but with Joe's help, that could pick up some speed.

I meant all Bundy related people who are being persecuted by the Feds, LJ. Even though they won their case, the Feds have indicated they are looking to see if they can re-try them again.

That’s making Libtards even more upset, Harvey is dominating they headlines and they can’t get people worked up about the pardon. Yes, President Trump is the Evil Genius, ha haaaaa.

The whole point of the POTUS pardoning someone is over the idea that a criminal conviction is unjust. Joe Arpaio wasn’t running a gang or killing people. I could care less that he got pardoned over an unjust charge of contempt by a court that disregards our nation’s laws.

Ping to Trump pardon of Arpaio!

I flipped to CNN and MSNBC and they are treating it like Trump has committed the Lizzie Borden axe murder!

President Trump MUST be impeached over this. This act is much worse than Bill Clinton's Lolitta Express involvement (rape of little children/pedophilia) and Hillary's felony destruction of evidence. /sarc

Good question.

I haven’t been as good at following these guys as I should have.

The only way I know Miller is that his name is lofted as one of the good guys. I know nothing about him.

A beautiful photo.
Incredible that just a piece of paper with the proper signature restores a man’s freedom.

God Bless President Trump and Sheriff Joe
