It might look "off," as it does with every President who does something certain people don't like. Why do you think it was the collective wisdom of the founders to grant the President the unfettered power to pardon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Remember the Marge Simpson line "I learned that one person can make a difference, but probably shouldn't?" Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should, nor does it make it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 C.S Lewis.... Lewis experienced a certain cultural shock on first arriving in England: "No Englishman will be able to understand my first impressions of England," Lewis wrote in Surprised by Joy. "The strange English accents with which I was surrounded seemed like the voices of demons. But what was worst was the English landscape ... I have made up the quarrel since; but at that moment I conceived a hatred for England which took many years to heal." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
