Meanwhile, Jerry Brown and other rogue state governors are pardoning illegal aliens in order to stop deportations (thus skirting federal law), but is the New York Times questioning that practice?

Puerto Rican terrorists, Marc Rich, Bradley Manning.

All A-Okay for the NYT

Scooter Libby? Hit the panic button!

Do these liberals have any idea how crazed they look to normal Americans?

For most of American history, the insane scope of the pardon power has been kept in check by norms,

Like Clinton's "norm" of selling pardons ?

“The current president has no reverence for governing norms, and has retained the loyal support of his party’s congressional majorities and voting base while engaging in conspicuously corrupt and unhinged behavior on a daily basis.”

Oh my God. How hilarious is this. Talk about unhinged and not dealing with reality. I get a big kick out of this NYT writer accusing this president of not having reverence for governing norms. Cronyism and total corruption are not part of the Trump agenda Mr. Brigham you moron! He’s not Bubba or The One!

The author does not care about pardon power. The author care about who wields the power.

They sure loved the Presidential pardon when Clinton and Obama pardoned COP MURDERERS and TERRORISTS.

OK,then...in how many ways are we gonna amend the Constitution? Repeal the Second Amendment? Repeal the President’s power to pardon (at least when a Republican is in the White House)?
