- An alternate might be to ban blanket pardons of the unconvicted.
- Let them go through the judicial process, so that we know what
- they are guilty ( and incocent) of before a pardon is allowed.
-
- That way
- * we know when they have been found innocent.
- * we know what exactly the president is pardoning them for when they
- are found guilty (we know what the president finds pardonable)
- * we don't have the kind of blanket pardons that release the criminal
- from anything he might have done (including murder) (read Nixons pardon).
