What Al Franken did should not get him thrown from the Senate
and Roy Moore ?

aren't all hypocrites "double-standard" by definition?al franken gets to stay in the Senate.
john conyers doesn't face expulsion.
liberals are double-standard hypocrites.
there's nothing for Trump to pardon under the Constitution, because according to it, he has all the prosecution power.
In a case by case scenario, yes.and Roy Moore ?
Do you approve of a 34 year old trying to diddle a 14 year old? Franken was never banned from a mall.
In light of all the talk of Flynn receiving a pardon and the history of Mark Ritch, Iran Contra convictions being commuted, is there an argument for doing away with presidential pardons altogether?
Surely as the head of the executive, and upholding the law of the land as even just an optics issue, shouldn't this be done away with entirely?
Interested in alternative viewpoints.
Very GOP consistenti'm extremely consistent.
ban all repubs accused of this, after you ban all dems accuse of this.
or just let the voters decide.
Check out the presidential pardons from the last few presidents
the Justice Dept doesn't do that.
they selectively prosecute people.
see Hillary Clinton.
All DA’s at every level around the country make that decision on a daily basis. No departments have enough resourcues to prosecute every case.
the problem here is that Democrats have supported Bill Clinton 100%, and only 16 years later taken a stand.
if this pardon is wrong now, why was it okay for 16 years ???
but the Justice Dept has enough resources to go after their political enemies.
That is also true at all levels of justice. Not defensible, but true.
Not defensible
It's called 'professional discretion.' Legal coherence and republican slashed funding play roles in determining the docket. HRC was not prosecuted bc there was no crime that could meet those factors.the Justice Dept doesn't do that.
they selectively prosecute people.
see Hillary Clinton.
Wrong.DOJ is completely corrupt, they actually covered up the Democrats' crimes.
The problem here is that obstruction of justice was an impeachable offense for a president (Clinton) to over 40 congressman still in congress.the problem here is that Democrats have supported Bill Clinton 100%, and only 16 years later taken a stand.

Dr Doom's lawyers are currently trying to argue he can't obstruct justice because he's the President.What's stopping someone like Doctor Doom from hacking the fuck out of everything, dominating the fake news social media, bribing and murdering his way to the presidency, then when caught, pardoning all henchmen and pardoning himself?
You sound asinine. We get it. You hated having a right wing black man as president. Let it go. Trump should let it go as well but his contrarian presidency would crash faster than it already is crashing.Sure, I'm all for that just as soon as all the previous people who was pardoned by PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS get locked back up with NO possibility of parole even for good behavior.
Deal?
