Why do you think this? It doesn't matter what the current administration thinks. If it sets the legal precedent that it can undo pardons by prior administrations based on little more than what the president thinks, then that power is also available to be used by future administrations based on their own opinions as well.
- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoI understand your point around precedent. My point is that Trump is not going to do something that removes the power of pardon from himself. I think the way they’re going to approach this is to frame it as a Biden specific problem with the pardons. It may end up requiring a court process, but it is possible that they will bring evidence forward to show that Biden was not really making these pardon decisions himself.

- 6510 2y agoI actually believe that the not signing thing is a much bigger deal. What then becomes the job description if you cant be bothered to sign? A few steps further you can legitimately deny ever seeing a document. That it bears your rubber stamp means nothing, anyone could have done that.
