Preemptive Pardons: The Rise of an Immune Aristocracy
from Sarah Cain, The Crusader Gal · host Sarah Cain
The preemptive pardons of one’s political allies creates an aristocracy, set apart from the common folk. When people view the courts and the legal system as mere vessels of power, wielded as political tools, they lose their ability to seek redress. They necessarily see themselves as part of an inferior, perhaps voiceless, class.
