Pressure On Biden To Pardon Trump

The pardon is intended to correct miscarriages of justice and the like. Not a "get out of jail free" card for your friends.
Intentions & reality are often at odds.
Miscarriages of justice should be addressed
for all...not just those seen by governors &
Presidents.

What is a "law"?
Are all judges impartial?
Are those judges above the law?
Judges are rather above the law.
Misconduct is difficult to sanction.
Hence what's called "Black Robe Syndrome".
MI has the worst problem with it.
p.s. If you can elect a judge to ignore the law - you can elect a president to fix it!;)
Not everything that can happen
will happen during a my life span.

We already have that, via the appeals system. The Governor's power to pardon is really like a backstop to the process. We have to remember that he/she can also issue a stay of execution if evidence is discovered at the last minute.

It's all potentially flawed of course, like everything involving humans.

Incidentally, and I'll say this as it won't be believed, there is currently a discussion going on among us aliens as to whether the time has come for us to intervene.

Perhaps clemency should be subject to review
by another body, with some authority to stop
wrongful pardons, eg, Marc Rich.
 

Twilight Hue

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.

So you understand all things being equal due to the fact that in eight years of his presidency no attempt on Obama's life ever made ?​

As compared in the span of a short few months before even becoming president Trump being called a threat to the republic has been wounded by gunfire, and set up for another round of gunfire by two separate assassins .​

Your estimation of the two comparisons somehow being equal has no basis in the reality of who has actually been shot and set up to be shot , factoring in years vs months of opportunity, compared to who has not suffered attack and who has been shot
But then again belief in reality would have never led to the severe landslide of an election that just happened either.
So there is a consistency in your illogical approach I will give you that .

Third of Democrats wish Donald Trump had been killed

A third of Democratic voters I surveyed in a snap poll on 18 July openly agreed with the statement “I wish Trump’s assassin hadn’t missed.” Looking beneath the numbers, the new moral absolutism of the progressive Left.
What's worse is the notable lack of calls to bring those who incite an assassination attempt to justice.

In the news....

As always, Presidents remain above the law.

The DOJ looking for ways to drop the charges anyway.
Justice Department weighs how to drop charges against President-elect Donald Trump: source

A pardon I suppose would just amount to a political gesture.
A pardon only deals with the federal charges.

Though I'd suppose any state charges would be tied up in court for the next four years.
