   So now we're talking about Liz Cheney and Fauci getting preemptive pardons which is fine but we're still not talking about federal petitions for clemency, of which there are thousands 😣

     @quinn preëmptively pardoning the estimated 11M people who have come into the US without authorization so they don't get mass deported would be the best thing he could do.

     @quinn
     Can you preemptively pardon someone who did a crime when their identity isn't known?

     Also all the clemency petitions...

     @evan that doesn't work though, they're not subject to deportation because of a crime, and he can't give them status with an executive order.

     @quinn It doesn't do everything, I agree, but it would close off some lines of attack.

     @evan i think this article is wrong, i think there's a bunch of other laws he's likely to use, and then take them to scotus when they're challenged anyway
