They’re prolly going to take it to the Supreme Court and change things again.

I'm sure they'll try. The extent of presidential pardon power is pretty cut and dry in the US Constitution, though.
so too is birthright citizenship, but the supreme court is going to consider it anyways.
This admin wipes its ass with the constitution. We have functionally been without a constitution for months now IMO.
Oh, I know, but the Supremes have been less likely to support Donald when they can't hide behind ambiguity.
But at the same time, we're watching the judiciary effect change and a measure of meaningful opposition and have since January. The courts just move slower than executive orders, and Democrats in Congress don't do anything whatsoever to stop it, so it feels like there's no meaningful opposition at all.
But there is.
There are a lot of things that ought to be obvious based in how the Constitution is written -- like how Presidents should not be able to harvest funds from foreign officials while in office, or that Presidents should not have license to break the law with impunity. This Supreme Court always finds a way to twist logic to favor the Administration's view.
Next up is the Birthright Citizenship thing. Let's see how that "cut and dry" thing goes.
And once this pardon gets to the Supremes, they will of course rule that it makes total sense for Presidents to pardon State crimes, because it's what the Founders wanted all along. Then there will be 6 shiny new RVs parked in the majority justices' driveways.
Yep, this SCOTUS is a mixed bag and often doesn't make any sense. We'll see what happens.
What’s the big deal? They like going to Walmart!
The voters ask for affordability, and this motherfucker spends his time doing symbolic, meaningless bullshit while pilfering the national treasury to enrich himself and his shitbag kids.
But still...
Eat shit, die, and rot a cell, bitch.
That's the basic premise of the entire culture war bullshit. It's all a distraction, meant to create an "Us vs. them" mindset.
Might I add: “rot all yer damn cells, ye driveling hate-spewing bagbaw & all yer worthless thieving degenerate nepo baby spawn while yer all at it”
