Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Pardons for Patriots?" This loaded question isn't just a modern talking point; it's a concept deeply intertwined with America's history of unrest and presidential clemency, now starkly relevant in the aftermath of the January 6th Capitol attack.
At its core, "Pardons for Patriots?" refers to the use of presidential clemency for individuals involved in insurrections or rebellions, often framed by supporters as acts of patriotism rather than criminal offenses. The power of the presidential pardon is enshrined in Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, a power the Supreme Court has interpreted broadly.
