This is just me, but I don't think if your in a position of political power you should hold any control over the judicial system. The two should be separate to some extent.

I mean Biden straight up said he wasn't going to pardon him and now is. In June, Biden categorically ruled out a pardon or commutation for his son, telling reporters as his son faced trial in the Delaware gun case, I abide by the jury decision. I will do that and I will not pardon him. https://apnews.com/article/biden-son-hunter-charges-pardon-pledge-24f3007c2d2f467fa48e21bbc7262525 I don't really see how anyone can't think less highly of someone who blatantly lies about such a thing.

I understand his desire to protect his son from trumped up charges and an incoming administration that will absolutely use the DoJ as a weapon, but if he's willing to ignore decorum or precedence or whatever here, I'd like to see that attitude applied more widely, because as it is I don't think this helps the Democrats, and a bunch of dumb motherfuckers will absolutely nod along as the news covers this incessantly, talking about how it was a misuse of power while providing no context. That said, it doesn't really move the needle overall in my evaluation of Joe Biden; in the grand scheme of everything, good and bad, this doesn't really register. --- Thus I became a madman. ...

Democrats are reluctant to persecute political rivals but Republicans are not. They would have done whatever they could to further punish Hunter solely to torment the Bidens. Agree with what everyone is saying about how it would be nice if he went wild and did a whole lot of this but it's clear the only time they're willing to break decorum is when it affects them personally. --- http://i.imgur.com/szMsu.png Validate your purchases and discredit the purchases of others whenever possible.

Joe, uses your powers to do more. Truly test the presidential immunity ruling. Go on. (No, not with violence. But something Repubs will scream about. has to be put to the legal test before Trump has control) https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/08/politics/trump-grasps-unprecedented-power-supreme-court-immunity/index.html CNN The roiling debate over the strength of democratic restraints to keep Donald Trump in check when he returns to the White House in January has put a renewed focus on a divisive Supreme Court ruling that some fear could enable his worst impulses. Trumps sweeping election victory has relit fears on the left of an empowered president pushing the boundaries of his authority only now with a precedent in hand that grants far-reaching immunity from criminal prosecution. Taken together, the political and legal alignment will usher Trump into a second term with unprecedented power following a campaign in which he vowed to fire special counsel Jack Smith within two seconds of his inauguration and has flirted with the idea that President Joe Biden himself could be a convicted felon. For 250 years, the possibility of criminal prosecution operated as a guard rail on the conduct of our presidents, said Neil Eggleston, a veteran attorney who served as White House counsel in the Obama administration. That guard rail is now gone, and I see few if any others that will constrain President Trump. In a highly anticipated ruling on July 1 that came over the objection of the three-justice liberal wing, the Supreme Court held that Trump enjoyed absolute immunity from prosecution for actions taken within his core constitutional powers and a more limited immunity for other official actions. Anatomy of three Trump elections: How Americans shifted in 2024 vs. 2020 and 2016 Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that Congress couldnt criminalize a presidents conduct when he is carrying out the responsibilities of the executive branch. Based on their statements at oral argument, it was clear that several conservative justices saw the ruling not as a gift to Trump but rather as a way to head off spiraling and potentially politically motivated prosecutions. And while the decision may accomplish that complicating any effort to prosecute Biden once he leaves office, for instance it is also widely viewed as removing a check on a president who chafed at the concept of boundaries. Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned in her dissent that the decision would set up future presidents to be a king above the law. Noting an often-quoted hypothetical about Navy SEALs being ordered to kill political opponents, Sotomayor relayed worst-case scenarios. Orders the Navys Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune, she wrote. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune. --- And no president should have legal immunity. Wtf are we doing. And Remove pardon powers from all executives. (In my dreams) Completely.

No, but I had a pretty low opinion of him before that.

In other words, hes a wealthy prick who wont be the least bit affected by any of the things he could have tried to alleviate by pressuring Garlamd (or nominating someone better than Garland in the first place), not running in 2020, etc. --- https://store.steampowered.com/wishlist/profiles/76561198052113750 ...

Not me. Under normal circumstances yes but Trump literally spent the entire campaign saying how he's going to come after and destroy his "enemies" if he's re-elected. Trump doesn't play by the rules nor the law. If this was any normal transfer of government then yes, Biden should've stuck to his word but with Trump coming in he'd be pretty much condemning his son to years in prison on bullshit charges from a literal dictator. Having said all of that this does highlight the real long-term dangers of Trump. So many of the tenets of democracy have been safeguarded solely by convention and once that convention is broken by either "side" good luck ever getting them back. --- Currently Playing: SaGa Emerald Beyond (Switch), Fate/stay night Remastered (Switch) ...

I would, but Trump essentially getting away with everything including 1/6, has killed all any semblance of faith I ever had in America's legal system to provide & secure justice.

Purely because of the guy before and after him: No. I think it's fair to say that Hunter didn't get a fair trial purely because he is the son of the president. I lack any faith that the incoming administration will treat him fairly either. It's a terrible precedent to set, but he is not the one who has set this precedent. If the GOP would like to clamp down on corruption and nepotism though, they can join the rest of the country. Hell, they control all of government now, they could pass these measures on day one.
