SETH BARRETT TILLMAN ON THE PARDON POWER: “The reality is that that ‘abuse’ of office or ‘abuse’ of powers, as it has been pitched to the public, amounts to an Orwellian thought crime—which seeks to overturn an election based on wrong think and mundane disagreements about policy, which, in normal times, would be the subject of elections, not impeachments.”
Yes, we’ve already seen abuse of Congress’s investigative and impeachment powers.
