Trump has not violated any standards of morality while in office
This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen anyone write on this forum.
his opposition believes murdering babies is morally acceptable.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with Trump's commutation of Blagojevich's sentence.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with Trump's illegal, corrupt, and immoral behavior.
Insofar as the opposition to trump wants to seize people’s labor and property and murder babies, your claim to care about the morality of Trumps actions is self-serving non sense
This has nothing whatsoever to do with Trump's commutation of Blagojevich's sentence.

There is no moral principle precluding national leaders from issuing acts of clemency. You cannot show any objective principle that shows this to be true.
Trump uniquely on that because every president has used the power, and... never was engaged in any criminal conspiracy with the person commuted. You cannot show how it is immoral Rod Blago serves 7 versus 14 years since the sentence is an arbitrary number
I can prove you wrong by asking you two simple questions assuming you believe there is an independent, objective reality that exists apart from Trump's Twitter account and general state of mind:
1) Do you honestly believe that the commutation of Blagojevich's sentence was something that Blagojevich deserved?
2) Do you believe Trump did not have any ulterior motives when commutated Blagojevich's sentence?
Either you are arguing the power itself is wrong
Power is just a tool. Power can be used to do good things. Power can be used to do bad things. This is true for government power temporarily given to government officials. It's the ABUSE of power by government officials that is wrong.
And, by the way, a government official who abuses government power is doing something wrong whether or not that person supports pro-life policies.
Government officials don't get a "corruption pass" just because they support the policies you favor. That's not how it works.
you can’t show its application in this case is wrong since Trump has unquestioned power to use it
This is a terrible argument. This is the same type of asinine authoritarian argument Barr makes. The President is not a monarch. Presidents take oaths to the constitution. Presidents are representatives of the people and are entrusted with power to pursue the interests of the Republic as a whole.
The fact is a government official, including the President, can use official government power to do bad or improper things.
The fact that a government official, including the President, has the power to do something does not mean that every time the power is used it is good, proper, or legal.
Power is not an end. Power is a means to an end. Power is a tool. It's not some sort of unquestioned birthright. That's how thugs and punks and dictators think.
