Pardon Me - Discussing Presidential Pardon Powers

Jeffrey and Jason discuss the power to pardon wheedled by the President of the United States of America. we came to some interesting conclusions and raised a quality argument. We discussed and dispelled some of the arguments being put forward by more educated scholars, and at-leas, we hope. broke it down in a way thats understandable to most everyone. As a Libertarian, and an Independent neither Jeffrey or i have a dog in the fight. Our thoughts and perspectives come from the letter of the law. The average Americans interpretations, and good all common sense. I think it was a great conversation. Not one being had by the pendants, or the radicals left and right. We're the people right?
