The decision, which was first reported by NBC News, is a reversal for the president, who repeatedly said he would not use his authority to pardon his son or commute his sentence.

    How could he have used his powers as president to codify abortion access?

      Kill all the Republican surpreme court judges under presidential decree. Then appoint new judges.

      Or simply stack the court https://www.newsweek.com/can-democrats-expand-supreme-court-how-likely-it-1720256

        I guess I don’t think that we should politically assassinate people…

          Anywhere, or just US politicians?

            I’m personally pretty upset at all of the assassinations the the CIA has attempted/committed in my name, so yeah, I think anywhere.

              You know they work, though, right?

              You think there’s any realistic path to reform that all the corrupt live through?

                What kind of “reform” are you talking about? I think most reforms happen via a legislative process.

                  Then you must not be a student of history.

                    We were talking about codifying abortion, not land reform stretching back to the fertile crescent. We have norms about how we change policy in the US today, and you do it through a legislative/political process. We can dislike that process, but I don’t think disliking a process warrants contemplating murder lol.

          But stacking the court is less spectacular.

            Yeah, there was a point in time where I wanted Biden to stack the court, but if Biden stacked the court, then Trump would just stack it again. It would be a real short term fix.
