If we ever get trump out of office we need to re-arrest every last one of these guys. The supremes can whine and cry as we keep them in prison. They can raise an army if the want anything different.

Serious controls need to be placed around the pardon power.

Double Jeopardy is disallowed in the United States, they would have to be convicted on new crimes.

So much of what DJT is doing should be disallowed but isn't. So we can disallow them and then add an amendment to reverse all DJT executive orders and pardons.

I'm joking! Everything will be broken by then.

Name them as terrorists on bullshit nonexistent evidence and disappear them to CECOT. We already know you can get away with it.

that's for the gravy seals.. i mean ice gestapo. Send them where they sent the largely innocent.

They most certainly committed other crimes which were uncovered when they were investigated for the crimes that they were charged and now pardoned of.

Also as I understand it, while the can't be tried twice for the same crime Federally, it's still possible that they can be tried in a state court for committing the same crime.

The moment pardons are abused, the whole concept should be abolished. Pandora’s box is open now, unless you take it away, it’ll be continued to be abused.

Just the ones that Trump pardoned right?

there are good pardons out there. People who were rotting in prison for small amounts of drugs, etc.

.. but if you are trying to imply hunter biden, then fuck yeah I don't fucking care, put him in prison if that's what it takes.

Yes and also that the pardon power has been abused by every president (not just trump)
