I had a fireplace with an insert and blower when I lived in Waskom .... if you turned the blower on low you could bake biscuits in the den .... we had a fireplace built in our new house in Garrison, but we have never built a fire in it ... have gas logs mostly for just watching the flames .... I am wanting to build another shop and insulate it and have a wood heater ... make it my alternate mancave ....
The question IS .... can you issue a blanket pardon that covers everything under the sun for past crimes that no one has been charged with, much less convicted of? Is there a legal precedent?
A federal pardon is an expression of the president's forgiveness and ordinarily is granted in recognition of the applicant's acceptance of responsibility for the crime and established good conduct for a significant period of time after conviction or completion of sentence. Why pardon for a crime where there has been no conviction?
Are they even legally binding? Has it ever been tested in court?
