So you bring out 1? lol you are funny.

Also, it´s funny that you find someone who is as oblivious as you as to the concept "Rule of Law" Not to mention that you bring out tweets from random people who have no legal experience.

But I admire your attempt, even though it was a bad one,.

That's actually seven different legal scholars. Reading comprehension, get some. Again, they are legal scholars, not random people without legal experience. Several of them mention that pardoning yourself would violate the rule of law. Troll harder, Jac.

If you actually read what you posted, several of them are tweets.

Also nice misuse of the "Rule of Law" Again I have to question if you really understand what it is.

But let me take one that cuts it out in stone, so even you may actually understand it.

""Since the question of presidential self-pardons turns on a constitutional provision – the president's pardon power – where there is no judicial precedent that answers the question, I think it is wise to simply take the text of the Constitution at face value," Silverglate told CNBC in an email. "The president is given the unequivocal power to pardon. ("[He] shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment" – Article II, Section 2.) There is no expressed limitation governing whom the president may or may not pardon. Therefore it seems quite clear to me that the President may pardon himself.""

And if you look at the 11 legal "experts" the majority all say that he can.

That one highlighted word says no to your escape close for the guilty.

So if this is the case, would it be safe to assume that the ones saying he could pardon himself would have little issue with him committing a serious and potential violent crime and then go " I hereby pardon myself, lol"?

I love how bad Trump messes with the liberals. They pretty much have meltdowns in every thread.

Thinking about the same thing. TThough I guess some will argue he can grant it to himself.

Considering that most also say that even though there is the power, it would be unwise and lead to an impeachment, I think it´s safe to say they do not think he can commit a serious crime as the president and go free.

Also, a few say that it would properly not be upheld by the supreme court.

This makes me wonder at what point the GOP would be forced to impeach trump. Maybe if he starts going on a violent killing spree.

Why do we have to hear about Trump everyday. Shouldn't he be competing in the the universes biggest douche competition somewhere?
