Exactly, the pardon power should be taken away from the president and moved into a non partisan committee or something like that for these innocent rotting in prison.
It should also be illegal (which it is as far as I know) to retaliate against your political enemies.
- gjsman-1000 2y agoWell, in that case, that’s great news for Elon Musk. If Kamala wins the next election, according to you, it should be illegal to retaliate against him.
- sschueller 2y agoThat's not the same thing. Prosecuting someone for a crime they committed should always be done but firing someone for doing their jobs (FBI investigating j6) should not be allowed. Unless of course you broke the law at your job.
- gjsman-1000 2y agoWell, that’s also great news for Elon Musk and Trump; they are arguing their political retaliation is also merely the investigation of crime; and frankly, just look at Hunter’s laptop in any tabloid, and it’s patently clear there is at least some truth to this (it’s not black-and-white). At some point the line is completely gray and politically up to opinion.
- rbanffy 2y agoCivil servants (as are FBI agents) should be protected from arbitrary dismissal. The only exception I can imagine is political appointees, which can misplace their loyalty on the person who nominated them over the country.
