Biden's preemptive pardons

[CTyankee]

4. Your post made me stop and think and I am still turning it over in my mind.

Your thoughts about Trump using them himself gives me pause. However, he probably knows about it and has it up his sleeve already, regardless of what Biden does. After all, it isn't a big secret that a POTUS can do this.

However, its usage in a strong way "legitimizing" this power is making it dangerous in the wrong hands, as you have pointed out.

This has to be weighed in view of the real suffering of people treated so disgracefully by Trump. So if Trump starts to misuse it we must be aware, watchful and PREPARED to have a strong response.

Thank you for your insightful post.
