yeah it looks pretty awful at this point

Amongst a growing list of things that I think is failed in our current Constitutional order is the pardon power. It’s too powerful. And while in theory it could do some good; I think it’s too dangerous to be allowed to exist (One Ring to Rule them All). I think it should be ended.

The unilateral pardon power should be limited to the ability to commute a death sentence, and that should be expanded to state convictions.

the Federalist Papers argument (#74) in favor of how they were setting up the pardon power is good for an uncomfortable chuckle nowadays
