Manage episode 443600841 series 2860302
Before we begin, don't forget to check out Lawrence Eppard's new book, The Poisoning of the American Mind, and to read the newest piece in the Connors Journal on single parenthood in the U.S.
Now on to the podcast. . .
Kimberly Wehle, a constitutional law expert at the University of Baltimore's School of Law, joins the Utterly Moderate Podcast to discuss her new book, Pardon Power: How the Pardon Power System Works—and Why.
Wehle and host Lawrence Eppard discuss a variety of topics, including:
- How the pardon power looms large in the current presidential election.
- Why Wehle believes the pardon power is necessary to retain.
- The constitutional limits of and possible reforms to the pardon.
- Both good and bad historical examples of the pardon's use.
- Whether it might be used (appropriately or inappropriately) to help the Jan. 6 rioters, Hunter Biden, or to self-pardon Donald Trump (and whether a self-pardon is even constitutional).
