It wouldn’t be fair to have your felony conviction negatively impact your opportunities. This is how justice works right?
minus-squareRememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up26·4 months agoIf trump gets elected he’ll just pardon himself or whatever machinations transpire where he won’t be sentenced at all.
minus-squareOutsizedWalrus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·4 months agoHe can’t do that. These are state crimes. He has no authority to pardon non-federal crimes.
minus-squareneclimdul@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·4 months agoTrue. But that is based in logic and the assumption that laws follow strict “rules” and well…
