WTF Is It Now?!?

Regarding pardons, Invictus at Blah3 writes:

"[I]f we say that some perjuries, some obstructions of justice, some clear and conscious violations of a formal oath are free from our sanction, the Republic and its institutions will be weakened. One exception or excuse will lead to another, the right of the most powerful of our leaders to act outside the laws -- or in violation of the law -- will be established. Our republican institutions will be seriously undermined. They have been undermined already, and the damage accrues to all equally: Republicans, Democrats, liberals and conservatives."

Oh, wait a sec. That was [Republican Senator] Slade Gorton arguing that Bill Clinton should be removed from office. My bad.

Remember, rule of law IOKIYAR.
