    He should be issuing broad federal pardons for any of the political targets Trump is threatening. Hell, he should issue broad pardons for all journalists. Anyone who has past found themselves on Trump’s enemies list should get a full pardon now.

      Will pardons prevent the executions?

      Nothing will matter under law when he becomes a dictator and terminates the constitution on day one.

      There is only one way to stop this.

        How exactly does he terminate the constitution on day 1? I acknowledge that our constitutional protections are under threat, but he really doesn’t have the power to discard it, just to seek judges that don’t care about it.

          Insurrection act.

          Marshall law.

          Etc.

          He’s already said this.

          Plus with all the control in congress and R states I’m pretty sure that can call for that constitutional convention they’ve been dreaming about.
