In the wake of the Fulton County grand jury indictment of Donald Trump and 18 of his allies, Republicans and MAGA fiends are pulling out the usual stops to decry the ever-mounting list of charges against the former president. Some are calling for “civil war”; others are claiming that they fear it may now somehow be illegal to watch TV.
THAT would be quite a rigging!
I’m riggered.
Tramp is rigged on a rack.
Proceed…
Par for the course, or – dare I say – de rigueur.
What makes these people think that Kemp would pardon the little dipshit?
…Georgia needs to amend that statute and give Governor Kemp the ability to pardon in this situation because this is clear election interference,”
“…this situation because it is clear that a crime was committed.”
Fixed it for you, asshole.
Oh, c’mon! Kemp wouldn’t hesitate.
The horse head he’ll find in his bed if he doesn’t?
I demand a recount.
The pardon power is in the state constitution:
Paragraph II. Powers and authority. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Paragraph, the State Board of Pardons and Paroles shall be vested with the power of executive clemency, including the powers to grant reprieves, pardons, and paroles; to commute penalties; to remove disabilities imposed by law; and to remit any part of a sentence for any offense against the state after conviction.
Amendments require a supermajority (two thirds) vote of the legislature plus a public vote in an even-numbered general election (so no possibility to call a sneaky special election, looking at you Ohio).
If GA Republicans want to put this on the Nov 2024 ballot, I say more power to them. GA voters can vote this down at the same time they give the state to Biden a second time.
"Desperate people do desperate things."
A clear case of rigger mortis.
This Fox News host wannabe hasn’t listened to either Kemp ot Raffensburger. Neither seem very sympathetic to former President playing mob boss.
As I recall, what he is suggesting here is called a “Bill of Attainder.” Our U.S. Constitution prohibits bills of attainder through Article I, Section 9, Clause 3, along with ex post facto laws and laws impairing contracts. Bills of attainder are banned because they violate the Constitution’s separation of powers .
Well, a Bill of Anti-Attainder.
Instead of an act of a legislature declaring a person, or a group of people, guilty of some crime, and punishing them, often without a trial… they are seeking an act of a legislature declaring a person, or a group of people, not-guilty of some crime without a trial.
The proposed change would also include a section to repeal the laws of gravity and diminishing returns.
