    On the flip side of that coin, I just read an article where some federal court judge has ordered all involved attorneys dealing with the Sheriff Joe pardon and court case to appear. She's considering not honoring the President's pardon. I think it has to do with the fact that the President can only pardon Federal Cases and the sheriff is also charged with civil issues. Interesting.

    No, she has no ability to ignore Trump's pardon.
    She's dealing with Joe's request to throw out the conviction.

    Why would you pardon someone who is appealing the decision?

    What difference does it make?

    No need to issue a pardon if he wins on appeal. Seems like that might have been the prudent course of action from a political standpoint. Trump loses nothing by waiting for the appeal to be heard.

    Is it an appeal, or a request to have the conviction wiped from his record now that he's been pardoned? Two different things.

    He had filed an appeal of the original decision before the pardon.

    When have you known Trump to actually think an action through before acting?
    Ya gotta get real here. :D

    Just because his enemies disagree with what he did doesn't mean he didn't think it through.
    He put an end to a distasteful kangaroo court proceeding.
    No need to let it drag on.

    We have become so accustom to "leaders" who don't actually lead, that when we have one, we think he is a "lose cannon". Actually, he's just making decisions.

    Lose cannon, I like that. Definitely more apt than winning machine.

    He just took away the BS stage they have used for way too long. They do the same bitching and complaining every time this comes up and then end up increasing the ceiling anyway.

    Hell, just impose a rule that for 20 years, every law or appropriation passed has to be accompanied by two rescinded. Couple that with a sunset rule on everything requiring that anything that is passed must be reaffirmed in 6 or 8 years. It may take a couple lifetimes, but it could help.

    So you can't form your own opinion. K.

    FWIW that oped piece is ridiculous. They keep thinking Trumps "base" is republicans. It's not. Since you seem to have forgotten already, they party on the whole has hated him all along. He never once promised or even as best I can tell hinted he'd follow the party line bullshit. Now he's got both sides with their panties even more bunchy :crackup:

    I did love that ABC still spun him working with the dems as being a bad thing. Had me rolling. Of course they also spent the entire newscast doing teasers about a flight that flew really close to Irma on it's way to NY, dire tones every last one of them. Finally got to the actual report on the plane and it was less than 10 seconds to say that it flew near Irma and landed safely in NY... Absolutely nothing else in the report. Acting as if the pilots or airline did something ever commercial wrong when absolutely nothing at all happened and it never should have been on the news just like the thousands of other flights where nothing happened is pure bullshit.

    I was hoping for that answer but knew better.
