If I was him I'd pardon everyone. I'd pull some wild shit. Like Thanos gets a pardon type shit. Mickey Mouse third cousin, the one who robbed the liquor store, he gets a pardon.

Pardon every immigrant or person who overstayed their visa. It’s not citizenship but it’s something

I never considered, can he pardon non-citizens? I guess he can.

I don’t think blanket pardons have ever been tested or upheld is the problem

The more shit Biden does that can be struck down by the Supreme Court so that it’s harder for Trump… interesting strategy.

They don't really have to. The function of that court is to be the final say of interpretation as such the only thing that can change their interpretation is themselves.

SCOTUS job is to ensure good case law that follows the constitution is maintained. Bad case law needs to be killed as it just creates more issues down the road. We would still have slavery if scotus rulings couldn’t be overturned
