The Autopen Scandal Is a Very Big Deal

from The Commentary Magazine Podcast · host Commentary Magazine

We begin today's podcast talking about the failure of the latest Gaza cease-fire proposal, move on to the crisis inside MAGA over Jeffrey Epstein, and then get to the heart of the matter: The astonishing New York Times story released Sunday night in which we learn that the Biden administration used the autopen to execute pardons and commutations and clemencies—in clear violation of centuries of common law regarding the use of the pardon power. This is a big deal. We explain why. Give a listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
