This is a textbook category error. A constitutionally defined pardon power is not evidence that the rule of law is absent.
@sabeer's rule of law point relates to whether the government itself is constrained by law, the law is applied uniformly, courts are independent, and those in power are held to account.
Pointing to presidential pardons to answer that question isn't a rebuttal. It’s a dodge.
@ShashiTharoor@UN American positions will vacillate between constructive engagement, retrenchment and unilateralism but most Americans have ardently and consistently supported the former.
And let's not forget...
“I don’t think there’s anything that I have found, in the course of human storytelling, that is more profound than an individual not giving into fear and then holding on through the entire endeavor,” Tom Hanks said at a panel following an advance screening of Ken Burns’s new PBS documentary series, “The American Revolution.”

@8Osmercuryrog Couldn’t agree more. Why isn’t this song talked about more?
(I do think George could have done more with it - the last third of the song specifically but nonetheless, it’s a work of art.)
@TMacPhils Great response. I live in northern NJ now. Watch you on https://t.co/QFsEBCQXIS but the Phils broadcast is blacked out for Mets games.
Gary, Keith and Ron are good but nothing like having you, Kruk, Ben, Ruben behind the mic. Love the broadcasts.
