before anyone says ACHSKULLY The prESidEnT doEsn't HAve Any auThOritY to StoP tHIS, yes they do. they're a politician. negotiate. presidents break the law all the time.
I'm angry about this too, but what exactly are you thinking Biden could havw done? Invade Missouri? Place the governor and state Supreme court under arrest? I might enjoy that, but that's not how America works.
Yes you're right. The future needs great consideration for any current action. Making this call to pardon him would set the pace for an overuse of the power. Corrupt president's would be issuing pardons left and right.
I sympathize and wish for an alternate outcome. If the president did pardon, I wouldn't object. I just understand that all actions have consequences.
