It's really vague.
It's squishy.
It's old.
There's no definitions in it.
But it has this mythology that, OK, there's no remnants of monarchies except for the pardon power.
And the way people perceive the pardon power, including the Supreme Court, and frankly, including counsel for the government in the immunity case at the Supreme Court level, everyone just acts like, you know, this is this king-like power with no restraints.
And that's not true as a matter of history.
Actually, there were limits on King George's pardon power at the time it made it into the Constitution.
It's not true as a matter of Supreme Court precedent.
The
that you can't force a pardon on someone.
You can't pardon a crime that has not yet been committed.
And I think under other just logical principles, it doesn't hold up.
And it's been tremendously abused, starting with George H.W.
Bush.
Not so much by Obama.
I think he has a clean record on that one.
But
you know, Bill Clinton's pardon, Mark, Mark Rich went to congressional investigations and even a, even a DOJ investigation to see if it was a pay to play pardon.
And I just think we need, this is a sort of a corner of the law of this debate that is rarely discussed and not well understood.
