        Of all the things Trump has done so far, I think this may very well be the worst. Well, & Transgender Ban. Anything that hurts US citizens.

        Yes. This and the transgender ban today. Do you think staff had to bribe him with awfulness to get through hurricane briefing?

        My transgender student was worried that Trump's ban labels him as mentally ill. Wtf world awaits him when he graduates in the spring?

        I'm with you. Also, I told my student the ban is not a reflection of him, but further evidence of Trump's mental illness.

        I went to law school because I wanted to prevent the exploitation of people's #civilliberties. Arpaio was just pardoned for those violations

        Is it possible for a pres pardon to be overturned or even stayed since the sentencing hasn't occurred yet?

        Almost definitely not. Pardons can happen before conviction even. See:https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/the-president-actually-has-enormous-power-to-pardon?utm_term=.clLa3nmoq#.owVp5zy62 …

        So there's no check on that portion of his power? I'm finding this tough to accept... gimme some hope here Chris.

        I did. None of them abused an elected office to deprive dozens of people of their rights or tortured the mentally ill.

        Kinda tells you it wasn't for publicity (using hurricane as cover), but instead something he just desperately wanted to do.
