Goodness gracious stop it. I never denied the existence of political prisoners.
Don't try to deny your own posts. ANYONE can read them.
This is the same tactic leftists use.
I agree. Denial of the truth is very common among Democrats. I don't want you make the same mistake.
Don't do that. What I said was I don't like presidents having unilateral power to pardon people.
What about political prisoners?
That is not the same as denying the existence of political prisoners.
True, yet you DID deny the existence of political prisoners. Now you claim they exist. Which is it, dude? You can only use ONE of the conflicting arguments. A paradox is irrational.
The problem is people you think are political prisoners other people think are criminals.
So? The people that imprisoned them think they are criminals. Does that make a political prisoner an actual criminal?
What law was broken by a political prisoner?
I don't know the solution
Fair enough.
and I don't need to know the solution
There already is a solution. A pardon by an executive, such as a governor or the President.
but i know one person with that much power is not necessarily a good idea but I'm happy to hear your argument for it.
Okay. Here's my argument:
There is a such a thing as a political prisoner. It matters not if the political party imprisoning him thinks he's a criminal. Such prisoner has broken no law but is nevertheless imprisoned as a 'criminal'.
Therefore, justice demands that such prisoner be freed (pardoned) and those responsible for the false imprisonment be convicted and serve time for false imprisonment.
So pardoning such a prisoner is part of simple justice.
The people that Trump pardoned were not rioting, looting, committing any arson, etc. Indeed, they were ESCORTED through the capital building (the place is a maze!). Others that entered through the front doors LEFT when asked.
All while outside, FBI agents fomenting rioters among Democrat plants and the whole plot of the pipe 'bomb' were all planned months in advance by Democrats and Nancy Pelosi.
So again, justice demands that these Democrats and Nancy Pelosi serve time.
Justice also demands that any judge the imprisons political prisoners serve time for false imprisonment and exceeding their authority.
Justice also demands that any judge that lets out hard criminals time after time are therefore just as guilty as the criminals they keep letting out.
Yet people that have never broken any law are imprisoned, and people that have committed crimes (and their accomplices including these judges) never even face a trial, or of they do, are set free again and again despite their lengthy criminal record.
Is it any wonder that police, that risk life and limb to arrest these violent thugs, feel pretty demoralized when judges keep setting them free?
However telling me I'm denying the existence of political prisoners is not a compelling argument.
So at this point I am going to assume that your earlier claim is rejected by you, thus resolving the paradox.
You now admit that political prisoners exist. So I ask again...what about them? Do you think it's worth the justice of giving an executive leader (such as a governor or President) authority to pardon such?
The Constitution of the United States gives the President power of pardon for any offenses against the United States (except impeachment).
The constitution of every State gives the governor power of pardon for any offenses against that State (again, impeachment is usually exempted).
So what you are suggesting is to deny the Constitutions that give these people this authority.
Only the States have the power to change the Constitution of the United States.
Only the people of a State have the power to change the constitution of that State.
