52·2 days agoThere’s lots of good explanations of what the US Constitution allows… but they don’t actually matter!
No matter which branch of government (executive, judicial, or legislature) have the power to “do away with pardons” the same has the power to bring them back.
In parliamentary systems this is called the “supremacy of parliament”.
So even if Biden could issue an executive order to stop pardons then Trump can just executive order them back.

The Library of Babel Jorge Luis Borges (1941)

3·12 days agoTwo nightmares from when I was a child:
- Earth is suddenly in orbit around Jupiter and it’s filling the sky, everything is bathed in Jupoter-shine light.
- Earth is visited by human-sized black amorphous blobs that just appear and disappear at random, destroy anything they intersect with, instill abject terror in anyone who sees them.
pi.z.z.aWtf are those parentheses doing there.
I like that this has simple examples, even if imperfect.

Cheap as chips. Supremely powerful.
That’s only being consistentl with the rest.
The Adama Manoeuvre.
OMG.
Yeah. I was going to expand on that in the comment and decided not to for brevity.
It was only in the final two episodes that the timeline is established and it was the final two episodes that annoyed a lot of fans.
I still consider the 2004 series the actual serious BSG. I was around for the original and it was typical 80s schlock, though I loved it as a preteen.
Likewise. I watched the original as a child and loved it. The 2004 series is some of off the finest TV ever made.
The reboot of BSG places it 150,000 years before our present.
This made a lot of people very angry. I, for one, liked it. YMMV.
72·24 days agoI’m not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.
I imagine that technicality is going to be that it was (apparently) Israeli police not IDF.
