Nope. It's clear you have no interest in conversation or understanding. If that we're true you, you'd quit trying to change the argument. Be well. ("Adult conversation..." such a kidder...)
Did you forget you raised the issue?
I admit, I opined it was a stupid question. I still think that. I then gave you a half-dozen scenarios where a pardon could be tainted with illegality. I never claimed a pardon, without more, was a violation - but that's why it is a stupid question. As I noted, having the authority does not equal it being done for a lawful purpose. I then gave you an explicit definition and description of the rule of law, because it was apparent your weren't following it. You still aren't. I cannot make up for your lack of acumen on the topic or your stubbornness.
Consider that he is one of multiple governors sentenced to prison in Illinois. Its about time those corrupt mother ****ers got the message---you do corrupt, underhanded betrayals of the public trust and you go to prison for a very long time. They should be held to a higher standard, they wield a lot of power.
I like it when we can find agreement. I'll only add that people keep forgetting, or ignoring, that that was only one of the corrupt schemes he was convicted for. Multiple offenses led to a higher sentence.
