Wasn't it Barack Obama that bypassed Congress on a regular basis and ruled by Presidential decree? I don't recall Time being all bent out of shape by his actions.
I'm also curious as to why the war on Ken Starr wasn't damaging to democracy as well. If memory serves, Time (are they really still in business?) was all in on that one.

Ah, BUT WHAT ABOUT OBAMA!!!11!!
Thom - other than yourself and the other 38% percent of old racists circling the drain, the rest of the Nation is able to see Trump's lawlessness for what it is: a threat, not something that needs to be accepted because there was once a black president.
Go ahead, take the shoes off your swollen feet and get back to yelling at your Fox News television old man.
Thom, do racist,like yourself, not understand that Obama was half white. Why not focus on that part of his heritage if the other half bothers you so much. Also how do racist justify supporting the troops? Not all of our troops are white, ya know?
"Trump himself claimed in a June 4 tweet he had an “absolute right” to pardon himself, an idea in conflict with the centuries-old principle of British and American law that no one can be a judge in his own case."
Apparently this wasn't such an upsetting idea when it was Hillary who might have to pardon herself.....
"Now, back to January 20, 2017. Could a future President Hillary Clinton pardon herself?
The short answer is she could certainly try, and may very well get away with it. What’s more, there is likely little Congress could do about it — even with a Republican controlled House of Representatives and Senate. Here is why.
The president’s pardon power comes from Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution that provides, “The President … shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”
Based on the language of Article II, Section 2, the only limits placed on the power are that pardons may only be issued for federal offenses (not civil or state crimes), and a pardon cannot override the Congress’ impeachment power. Presidents have used this power to issue pardons in a wide range of matters throughout the country’s history."

A little consistency would go a long way.

Not sure he's fine with everything, but the "my brother is also hitting me" excuse (for hitting one's brother) is certainly getting a lot of mileage.

All politics aside. If you are half white and half something else, everyone sees you as "something else". That's the reality of it.
And I don't think Thom has ever posted anything remotely racist.

"By law, she could actually pardon herself and clear the record. A president can pardon any person, including the president. "

Again, just a little bit of consistency......and you don't have to love Trump to ask for it.
