This was an intense debate on the radio this morning. The constitution does not specifically address it. So, yes it would be a question. A huge question. Meaning it would no doubt be challenged on the grounds that law in America is absolute for who breaks it. Some other legal official qualified to do so would have to absolve the party who breaks the law of a crime. We don't use kings and emperors here. Their power is absolute. A president does not have absolute power and is not above the law himself in America. This would go to the Supreme Court in America and he would not get more than 1 or 2 votes max!
Well, I'm waiting. Show me where in the constitution is specifically says a sitting president may pardon himself. There is a fundamental rule that nobody can judge his or her own case.
Because I do not see it as existing. So, since you do...why can't you show it?
It does not say he can pardon himself. It does NOT state that. It states he has the power to pardon. You do not judge yourself in any legal case. A pardon is a judgement. You can represent yourself. You can NOT JUDGE yourself.
You’re opinion doesn’t mean anything in regards to the constitution. He has the power to pardon, that’s all he needs. Thankfully we don’t go by what you think it should mean.
CD. What does impeachment accomplish if he is going to remain in office? Senate will never convict. And I don't see the Dems taking control of the senate for a loooong time.
Depends on what he did. Getting ahead of ourselves. The senate and house aren't going to just allow a president to break the law. It doesn't quite work that way. They have careers too. That essentially ends your own career. Ask Nixon. Those were Republicans that got rid of him.
And who,died and gave Mr. wrong a law degree?
What two wrongs? We don't have a king. Period. Nobody is above the law in this country. Plain and simple. You are guilty of breaking the law you have to pay for that like everyone else.
Me thinks the Wrong Protests too much? How much you weigh? What do you do with your life? How much in food stamps?
Stop acting silly. Don't worry about me and my life. Get your own together. People can protest whatever it is they want to protest in America.
Yes you are right Mr. wrong and I decide to protest you today so respect my right Mr. wrong....
Sounds like you have a mornic, sophomoric understanding of our Constitution.
Only if President CD was pardoning himself.
Cems President Trump schools the Dems and the liberal press each and every day and you guys do not even get it lol.
lmao....dude and he claims to be an Attorney. You can't make this stuff up. I'm thinking you don't need a law degree to surmise there is no settled case law stating this POS can pardon himself.
Then if you can't produce "settled case law" maybe you should hush about it and stop coming to canesport saying there is "settled case law" in one post. Then come and say "Arguments can be made for or against" in another post.
Use your common sense. The founding fathers never intented for a corrupt person to self impose his punishment by pardoning himself. Surely you learned that in law school?
