Lawyers aghast as Trump's pardons begin to backfire: 'Crimes are on his hands!'

Two lawyers were aghast at new reporting that found some of the people President Donald Trump has pardoned went on crime sprees once they were freed.

The New York Times's editorial board argued in a new opinion piece on Tuesday that Trump has abandoned the traditional approach of granting sweeping pardons at the end of a presidential term, and that decision has become "disastrous."

'Wait — we won Vietnam?' GOP lawmaker's Iran war argument leaves observers speechless

Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) insisted on The Todd Starnes Show Tuesday that America should commit to overwhelming firepower against Iran to win the war — just like the nation did in Vietnam.

"We were horrible in Vietnam until we did Rolling Thunder One and Rolling Thunder Two, and then we won," said McCormick. "As soon as we do half-measures, we lose. The faster we get this over, the better. If we seize Kharg Island, it's technically boots on the ground. It could be done almost flawlessly. If we have enough firepower, it would be very easy to defend."

Even WSJ editors doubt Trump's case will survive Supreme Court filled with his nominees

President Donald Trump's executive order repealing birthright citizenship is before the Supreme Court this week — and the Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board has a blunt message for him.

"When a longtime legal doctrine is incorrect, the Justices shouldn’t shy away from fixing it merely because of age," wrote the board. "Yet other times there’s a reason the orthodoxy became the orthodoxy, and the case about birthright citizenship, Trump v. Barbara, might be one of those."
