No One Is Above the Law, Unless . . .
Joe Biden said no one is above the rule of law. His action to pardon Hunter Biden and its subsequent leftist media embrace was very loud and clear.
EXCERPT:
In the waning days of the Biden administration, Joe Biden went against his very own words and pardoned his son, Hunter. How many times did we have to hear Biden and his White House mouthpiece, Karine Jean-Pierre, state that “no one is above the law?” Well, that is true unless you are aligned with the progressive socialist left. And what is even more disconcerting is the comprehensive nature of this pardon . . . it covers anything over the past 10 years. And to witness Joe Biden doing this and then hopping on a plane to Angola?
Just to remind everyone, Hunter Biden, who thought he would get some sugar plea deal, was found guilty of federal gun charges and nine counts of tax evasion. These are all felony offenses, and you just have to wonder, what precedent does this establish for all those for whom the law does apply? A full and unconditional pardon? This was not about any political issues; these were federal felony charges. As well, how can Joe Biden deliver a pardon for anything over the past decade?
Article II of the Constitution states “… he (the President) shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” An action doesn’t become an offense until it has been adjudicated in a court, thus President Biden can only issue pardons for offenses Hunter has been convicted of or pled guilty to. A blanket pardon is outside the plain language of the Constitution. Past precedent(s) should never be used to alter the clear language of the Constitution.
On question Colonel. If Pete Hegseth doesn't make it through his "Kavanaugh" period, would you accept the nomination to that. position ?
Sure would like to see you set the military in right order
