Joe
Biden
is
pardoning
his
son
Hunter.
Anyone
concerned
about
justice
and
the
rule
of
law…
should
have
said
their
peace
when
the
bog
standard
plea
deal
for
Hunter’s
charges
that
could’ve
resolved
this
without
a
pardon
got
blown
up
by
grandstanding
politicians.

Supreme
Court
doesn’t
have
time
for
death
penalty
appeals
from
likely
innocents,
but
it
is
more
than
ready
to
consider
the
rights
of
vapers
to
buy
flavored
products.
Which
seems
like
a
betrayal
of
the
tobacco
farming
Framers
but
“history
and
tradition”
are
elusive
concepts.

And
by

they
