I'd like to see the system done away with. It doesn't make sense that buddies of the executive branch should be given special treatment... same goes for Trump & Co. It has gotten wild with preemptive pardons and so on. That's not equal protection under the law ... If the system was really a system where they reviewed exceptional cases of non connected folks and issued pardons I'd be ok with it, but it's not. Having said that ... this declaration seems to be the purview of the courts not the executive branch.
