President Donald Trump has announced a pardon for former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters, currently serving a nine-year jail sentence for her part in the plot to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election win.
However, Trump’s clemency gesture carries no weight, as Peters, 70, was convicted on state charges, not federal charges.
There are a lot of things that ought to be obvious based in how the Constitution is written – like how Presidents should not be able to harvest funds from foreign officials while in office, or that Presidents should not have license to break the law with impunity. This Supreme Court always finds a way to twist logic to favor the Administration’s view.
Next up is the Birthright Citizenship thing. Let’s see how that “cut and dry” thing goes.
And once this pardon gets to the Supremes, they will of course rule that it makes total sense for Presidents to pardon State crimes, because it’s what the Founders wanted all along. Then there will be 6 shiny new RVs parked in the majority justices’ driveways.
Yep, this SCOTUS is a mixed bag and often doesn’t make any sense. We’ll see what happens.
What’s the big deal? They like going to Walmart!
