A Presidential Pardon does not take effect unless the suspect accepts it. That according to a little known, 1915 ruling from the Supreme Court, once accepted, the pardon serves as an “imputation of guilt,” or what’s more commonly known as an admission. Because accepting the pardon is “essential to it’s validity,” I am demanding the Biden family, Dr. Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, the members of the J6 Committee and everyone else Biden unsurprisingly pardoned declare their acceptance of the pardon publicly. Because, according to the Supreme Court, it would also serve as a declaration of guilt. more
See how that works? Thousands of J6 who did nothing wrong were ‘guilty.’ But these stone hearted criminal lying jackals who put them there?
‘not guilty so shut up.’
Like I was sayen. Bull Shit pardons or not, justice needs to be done. I’m wondering exactly what the F Adam, lil bitch< Kinzler did that he thought he should request a pardon for. AND RECEIVED. I think lil ADAM needs his ass kick every time someone spots him on the street. What a weak little bitch.
In my opinion, the SCOTUS of 1915 got it wrong¹. Go read the discussion and debate regarding putting the Presidential Pardon in the Constitution in the first place.
1. Yeah, yeah, I have an overblown sense of self-importance.
Unfortunately, this applies to the J6ers too, who are 99% completely innocent.
“Unfortunately, this applies to the J6ers too, who are 99% completely innocent.”
To my knowledge few have even been tried. In fact there’s a shit load of them that have spent 1,000 days plus incarcerated with no day in court. The entire DC court system needs to be put on trial. Gotta happen. Exactly what constitution were they following? And immediately after that the DOJ, whom also received no pardons needs to be questioned why they’re arresting Grandmas with stage four cancer to spend the rest of their lives in hell. These people need to pay a very high price. I suggest a pay per view event.
I’m sorry, but… Burdick v. United States, 236 U.S. 79 (1915) doesn’t cover what’s happened here. Mike Johnston & Congress need to step in and clarify a couple things… Like coercion, entrapment, etc… And “I was just following orders” is not a !?!#!*g excuse…

On the DC court system… DC is not a state. And quite explicitly is not to have anything even close to “state” like authority. There’s no reason to allow them to have “courts” as such. Let their “federal court” rotate amongst the actual courts in round robin fashion in the name of justice…

@Brad — I’d pay top dollar to see Chutkan subjected to a good, long, energetic bastinado lashing.
After she’s been indicted, tried, convicted, and sentenced, all legally, of course.
On that thought, I think I’ll now go off to bed and dream pleasant dreams after a might fine day. Good night
Uncle Al
No shit huh. I’m with you buddy. Actually been a long hard couple days for me. We might be sharing the same dream tonight. I’ll be the good looking guy with a bladed instrument. LOL
Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution states that the President has the authority to “grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”
The Supreme Court has made clear that, subject to the exception for impeachment, the president’s power to grant pardons is “unlimited,” with virtually no oversight or limiting role for Congress. In Ex parte Garland, which involved President Andrew Johnson’s pardon of a lawyer who had served in the legislature of the Confederacy, the court indicated that the president’s pardon power covers all federal offenses. The president can issue a pardon at any point after a crime is committed and before, during or after criminal proceedings have taken place. The president cannot, however, pardon someone for future crimes. A pardon covers both the offender’s conviction for the crime and the sentence for that crime.
And in Connecticut Board of Pardons v. Dumschat, the court emphasized that pardons “have not traditionally been the business of courts; as such, they are rarely, if ever, appropriate subjects for judicial review.”
A presidential pardon applies only to federal offenses, so it would leave open the possibility that anyone whom FJB pardoned could still face charges in state court. In 2019, in Gamble v. United States, the Supreme Court upheld the “dual-sovereignty” doctrine, which allows a state to prosecute a defendant under state law after the federal government has prosecuted him for the same conduct under federal law without violating the Constitution’s ban on double jeopardy.
The court recognized that pardoned conduct can be considered in some subsequent proceedings, such as to enhance a defendant’s sentence in a subsequent state-court proceeding.
Presidential pardons are only good for federal crimes/offenses. States can charge the individual with aa similar, also pardons do not apply to civil cases so the individual can also be sued.
The left is fully aware of this. Look how they attacked Trump, first they tried to impeach him, then he was sued in civil court and finally GA and NY tried him in state court. Convictions in any of these cases cannot be set aside by a presidential pardon. Only taking the cases through the judicial appeals process, all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary, is the only way these cases can be reversed or resolved.
Also the only requirement for a pardon is a crime was committed. The pardon can be given before official proceedings have begun. If the individual accepts the pardon they are admitting to guilt. A president can pardon family members or close friends too.
It would take a constitutional amendment to change the pardons, which would be a waste of time and effort.
Whether you like it or not FJBs pardons will stand and if accepted the individual is saying they did commit the crime.
President Ford gave a similar pardon to Nixon, similar to FJB’s.
So no matter the vagueness the pardons are legally correct and due to the constitutionality of them Congress can’t do much.
I’m fine with all the final ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ pardons.
They are self-explanatory that the biden* crime family played their leftist friends in the MSM like a fiddle.
They set the precedent that DJT will use to his advantage.
It cancels the dead-end trials and underwhelming results that would no doubt occur.
It’s time to move the fuck on and M A G A !
The civil suits should be flying in against Fauci, not that he’s admitted guilt.
