LMAO! The reference is to the title of your thread and some bad horror movies.

You need to get out of the Fox News/Breitbart bubble every once in a while.

Preemptive pardons should be unconstitutional and should be challenged in the SCOTUS and overturned and reversed.

The Case Against Preemptive Pardons

Undermining Accountability

Preemptive pardons can erode the principle that no one is above the law. By absolving individuals of potential crimes before they face trial, this form of clemency can give the appearance of impunity, undermining public confidence in the justice system.

Potential for Abuse

The unilateral nature of preemptive pardons leaves them vulnerable to abuse. A leader could use this power to protect political allies, friends, or possibly even themselves, prioritizing personal or political interests over justice.

Chilling Effect on the Rule of Law

Preemptive pardons may discourage accountability by signaling that certain individuals or groups are exempt from prosecution. This can create a precedent that weakens institutional norms and incentivizes corruption or unethical behavior.

Hindering Truth-Seeking

A preemptive pardon may prevent key facts from coming to light. When an individual is pardoned before trial, evidence that would have emerged during legal proceedings may remain undisclosed, leaving victims and the public without a full understanding of events.

When they have committed no crimes and he is protecting his family from the overreach of the Republican Party?

You bet.

When they have committed crimes, like the Trump Crime Family, and he tries to keep them out of jail, extending his "above the law" aegis to them?

No way.

You could work that out along with your delusional ideas with the help of a mental health professional.

Good luck getting healthy, Mott.
