How the Democrats Can Get Trump To Back Down On Canada

Submitted by Robin Messing on Sun, 02/02/2025 - 3:37pm

The Democratic Party should release the following statement:

We are alarmed by the threats and the pressure that Donald Trump is applying to Canada. We could not have asked for better allies, and we could not have better neighbors to the North.

Donald Trump has used the Justice Department to go after his political enemies in the past, and he will do so with greater gusto and efficiency if he is elected again.

This lie motivated the January 6 insurrection and, just as importantly, it is motivating efforts to place acolytes of this lie in positions where they are the ones who decide how the votes will get counted in 2024.

I am not a lawyer. Nor do I play one on TV.  But I follow Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe on Twitter and I have read the papers he cited that challenge the assertion that a president can pardon himself. After reading those papers I am convinced that any pardon Donald Trump grants to himself will also fail. I further contend--and this will be controversial--that any pardon he grants to anyone who has helped him become President through an illegal conspiracy will fail.
