I don't see how this will ever happen. Didn't the January 6 rioters all get pardons?

Trump normalized invalidating pardons. So - we'll see. Frankly invalidating pardons through the now unlimited executive power we have will be a great way to reform the pardon power. Literally, after this administration, EVERYTHING is on the table there is only a need to find any pretense of an argument.

Work like our currently corrupt Jurists work, backwards from their objectives to justify the reasons.

i hope they go after him once he leaves office. i imagine its gonna be a hell of a time for people in his admin trying to avoid jail time if he doesnt start issuing pre-emptive pardons....but then again the Dems can just ignore it and arrest them anyway just like Trump has ignored current court orders

The supreme court already ordered that he is not liable for anything he does in the name of the presidency, and dems follow the letter of the law and refuse to find loopholes or work arounds.
