Pardon Me ...

Obviously, I am not a lawyer.  But I do have some legal thoughts about Rudy Giuliani's comment that President Trump could pardon himself if need be. My logic also involves the answer to another conumdrum -- whether a president can be indicted. I think this is clearly unconstitutional because the constitutional cure is impeachment for "high crimes, etc."

Let's assume that President Trump invites James Comey to the White House where he shoots him dead.  He cannot immediately be indicted for this crime. Constitutionaly he would first have to be impeached by the House and then convicted in the Senate to be removed from office (a process I am pretty certain that SCOTUS would not permit him to pardon himself from.) This should be a very quick event. Only then could he be indicted and brought to justice in our regular criminal system.

But here is the rub. Trump could not then pardon himself because he no longer would be president. And, I could be wrong, but I don't think that Trump could give himself a prospective pardon ... before the above die process was completed ... while he was still president.

Therefore, all this hot air about him pardoning himself is just that ...hot air.

Next SCOTUS Case?

Or maybe in the criminal court first?

Obama Fatigue

I am in a bit of a funk over the Obama administration's two recent victories ... obtaining fast track trade authority from the Senate (the precursor to greater power for it to pursue its world government agenda) and its SCOTUS victory permitting Obamacare subsidies for states not providing health-care exchanges. This fatigue is exacerbated by the vindictive war on our South by this administration and the national media.

President Obama obviously has a great many scalps hanging from his belt ... particularly considering his obvious incompetence and indifference to popular opinion. He has lived a bit of a charmed life ... hopping from ice floe to ice floe ahead of the pursuing racist hounds (yes, Sheldon, this is sarcasm.)

To add to my ennui, the Supreme Court has just legalized same-sex marriage. Once again I am on the wrong side of history. I guess the millennials (that group who can't name our vice president) now totally rule.

Useful Idiots

I just witnessed on television this morning multiple demonstrations in front of the Supreme Court by legions of mostly young yahoos who were chanting against Hobby Lobby and their contention that it should be forced, under Obamacare, to pay for certain types of contraceptives. These useful idiots with their banners and mantras were conveniently ignoring a number of distinctions in this case which would undermine their mindless inanity:

1)     Hobby Lobby indicated in its arguments in front of the SCOTUS that the “contraceptives” that it objected to being forced to pay for are those which are essentially drug-induced abortions.

2)     Hobby Lobby strongly believes that it is its social responsibility to provide regular health insurance for its employees … but not for abortions. (By the way there are existing laws on the books … again ignored by the Obama administration … that taxpayers should not be forced to pay for abortions.)

3)      Hobby Lobby is a privately-held company which gives it much more standing in such moral-based issues. It does not have public stockholders and is fully owned by a religious family who holds strongly to the notion that abortion is infanticide.

4)     Hobby Lobby’s employees, if any of them object to this company’s policy, can either buy their own inexpensive contraceptives (or visit the nearest Planned Parenthood clinic for freebies) or are able to seek employment elsewhere. Even that uber-liberal, Donny Deutsch, made this very point on Morning Joe this morning.

Fortunately, these Obamacare issues are not decided in the public square … and the Supreme Court found for Hobby Lobby today … see: ABC News Story . I fully expect President Obama very soon to follow with a fusillade of snide comments directed to the conservatives on the Court … all to the cheers and stomping of these very same useful idiots.

Afterward: I can't help but believe that the Democrats are secretly happy with this SCOTUS decision. It easily reinforces their demagogy that the Republicans are waging a war on women ... and that many of these demonstrating useful idiots will vote for anyone with a "D" after their name in November. Such is the politics of these pimple people ...
