I actually love that President Biden has made the decision to pardon his son Hunter. We all know that if Hunter had a different last name he would never have been charged in the first place.
President Biden did the right thing by pardoning his son, Hunter. The Trump Administration would have used the Justice Department to prosecute their political opponents.
RETWEET if you think President Biden made the right decision!
🚨NEW: Special Counsel Jack Smith plans to release his investigative report on Donald Trump prior to Inauguration Day.
RETWEET to thank Jack Smith for standing up for our democracy!
@GovEvers , Tony, Is this the time of year you consider pardons, etc? It's passed time you pay more attention to Brendan Dassey and the story of conviction of an innocent young man. He has been incarcerated too long for doing nothing wrong. How about considering a commutation?
Governor Evers where is your Compassion and your humanity? Inform yourself on Brendan Dassey’s case you will see the Injustice done to an innocent boy @GovEvers @Tony4WI @LGSaraRodriguez @LauraNirider @WisDOJ
BREAKING: President Biden calls for "three bold reforms" to fix our corrupt MAGA-infected Supreme Court amidst a worsening legitimacy crisis — enraging Republicans in the process.
And it gets even better...
First off, Biden is calling for a constitutional amendment called the "No One Is Above the Law Amendment." It would ensure that presidents do not have immunity for crimes committed while in office.
"I share our Founders’ belief that the president’s power is limited, not absolute. We are a nation of laws — not of kings or dictators," writes Biden.
Biden outlined his proposed changes in an Op-Ed in The Washington Post entitled "My plan to reform the Supreme Court and ensure no president is above the law."
"This nation was founded on a simple yet profound principle: No one is above the law. Not the president of the United States. Not a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. No one," Biden wrote before going on to shred the court's absurd ruling that Donald Trump has presidential immunity from prosecution.
President Biden is also calling for 18-year term limits for the justices instead of the lifelong tenures that they currently enjoy. The current system insulates them from the consequences of their actions and invests them with far too much power.
"It would reduce the chance that any single presidency radically alters the makeup of the court for generations to come," explained Biden.
He also called for implementing a binding and (most importantly) enforceable code of conduct that would require the justices to disclose the gifts they receive and to refrain from public political activity.
This rule would be devastating to crooked justices like Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. The former racked up headlines for blatantly taking bribes from wealthy Republicans and the latter has displayed support for the January 6th insurrection and MAGA more generally.
Biden is also calling for the judges to recuse themselves from cases in which they or their spouses have some kind of conflict of interest.
"We can and must prevent the abuse of presidential power. We can and must restore the public’s faith in the Supreme Court. We can and must strengthen the guardrails of democracy," wrote Biden.
"In America, no one is above the law. In America, the people rule," he concluded.
