Matt Blaze on Nostr: Trump's latest proclamation that Biden's pardons are invalid because they were signed ...
Trump's latest proclamation that Biden's pardons are invalid because they were signed by autopen should scare us for many reasons. Aside from the constitutional bogusity and revenge-based politics, it's also reminiscent of the Calvinball-like legal "theories" advanced by those tiresome "sovereign citizen" wackos (e.g. "the court has no jurisdictions because the wrong flag is flying in the courtroom").
