Don't wanna be here? Send us removal request.
43 Senate R’s deserve condemnation. Of the other 7, only Murkowski faces the voters next year, though she’s won as an independent; Collins, Sasse and Cassidy have six years to repent; Romney is determined to get even; Burr and Toomey are quitting. No profiles in courage. 🤮

The constitutional pardon power should be removed by amendment. It's been badly abused by a lot of presidents. I'd be ok with maintaining it during the first term of a president before his re-election date or thereafter if recommended by the Dept of Justice.
