    Well, it’s a federal law, so yeah, basically. I mean, it’s kind of up to the president if the DOJ actually prosecutes people for breaking federal law. Take Biden for example. He just pardoned a bunch of people who were in prison for federal drug charges. The laws they broke are still on the books, and what they did was still technically illegal, even if it’s stupid to begin with.

    Somebody at the DOJ could just go rogue and try to enforce the laws, but they would just be fired if the president didn’t like it.

      These weren’t even the worst pardons…

      He let out some cunt who robbed her town blind.

      Imagine being corrupt and then being pardoned by the president. That’s a slap to the taxpayer
