[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]good point. The dumb thing is these pardons may not be [b]constitutionally valid[/b] and the sheer number could force this issue. [/quote]

Huh?  Exactly how might they not be "constitutionally valid"?[/quote]

Where does the constitution say you can pardon someone who hasn’t even been convicted? Just because it’s been done before doesn’t mean it has withstood a court challenge.

Pardons are for leniency and a statement against what the executive thinks was an unfair trial or conviction. Not for protecting political allies from investigation or trial in the first place.

See you in court.[/quote]

“The Constitution provides that the President "shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offences against the United States, except in cases of impeachment." [Footnote 6]
The power thus conferred is unlimited, with the exception stated. It extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken or during their pendency or after conviction and judgment.”[/quote]

So you are acknowledging that all in the latest group of preemptive pardons committed offenses against the United States. Thank you![/quote]
