Biden pardons Biden

Joe Biden announced:

Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. 

He kept his word up until when he didn’t keep his word, and made the most venal pardon in the history of pardons.

Trump was rightfully attacked for his tramping of norms. All those who attacked Trump for doing so, should show integrity and attack Biden for this shattering of norms.

I wonder if it is time for a constitutional amendment to remove the pardon power from the presidency. Once it has been used to pardon family members, it can only keep going downhill.

It is worth noting that Biden didn’t just pardon his son for the offences he has been charged with. He has pardoned him for any and all crimes Hunter may have committed since 2014.
