The decision, which was first reported by NBC News, is a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.

    He could have abused his power like this to fix the justice system. Forgive student loans, Codify abortion. And all those other unfulfilled promises.

    Instead Biden has fully destroyed the illusion of Democrat commitment to “justice” only to bail out a coke addict.

    Both sides anyone?

      How could he have used his powers as president to codify abortion access?

        Kill all the Republican surpreme court judges under presidential decree. Then appoint new judges.

        Or simply stack the court https://www.newsweek.com/can-democrats-expand-supreme-court-how-likely-it-1720256

          I guess I don’t think that we should politically assassinate people…

            Anywhere, or just US politicians?

              I’m personally pretty upset at all of the assassinations the the CIA has attempted/committed in my name, so yeah, I think anywhere.

                You know they work, though, right?

                You think there’s any realistic path to reform that all the corrupt live through?

                  What kind of “reform” are you talking about? I think most reforms happen via a legislative process.

                    Then you must not be a student of history.

            But stacking the court is less spectacular.

              Yeah, there was a point in time where I wanted Biden to stack the court, but if Biden stacked the court, then Trump would just stack it again. It would be a real short term fix.
