I think, unfortunately, that our founders made a mistake making the pardon power unreviewable and giving the Executive Branch complete control of law enforcement and the military.

Trump’s greatest downfall is for underestimating the power and intelligence of patriots in this nation. His greatest fear are those who are unafraid of him.

I think that our forefathers couldn't conceive that a president would be something other than honest and respectful of the needs of the people. They could never foresee a felon as president hense not part of the Constitution.

Thanks, Popok, for the "Legal AF Book Club" discussions. Walter Stahr's description of Teddy Roosevelt's and W.H. Taft's differences on Constitutional limits of POTUS powers was instructive for what we are seeing now.
