There is increasing recognition on the left that whatever benefit the pardon power has at allowing the redress of unjust punishments for crimes has been way overwhelmed at its use for corruption and criminal impunity for the rich and elites. We can find other ways to deal with the former.
There is an intense pro-enforcing laws turn on the left, and it's good. The Third Reconstruction will require a strong hand and an iron will and a heart hardened against the screeching of fascist traitors that they deserve mercy.

They all shoveled money to Trump's ballroom — and could win big from friendly treatment from the admin on active antitrust deals and lawsuits.
Is this bribery in plain sight? I'm pressing for answers.

European reaction to the new American national strategy document
The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:
The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

Trump proves that stopping the drug trade means nothing when there's a chance to pardon a dirty politician who made millions by helping to bring 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.

Scathing dissent from Justice Kagan:
"[T]his Court reverses that judgment based on its perusal, over a holiday weekend, of a cold paper record. We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision."
