Dodging The Immigrant Pardon Bullet ???

Recently I wrote about the frightening possibility that Obama ad-Dajjal might just PARDON all the illegal immigrants in the US. You can read what I wrote here:

Fortunately, there has been a court decision which suggests he might not be able to issue such a blanket pardon:

Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s decision to restore voting rights to more than 200,000 felons violates Virginia’s constitution, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday, dealing a major blow to the Democratic governor with implications for the November presidential race in the crucial swing state.

In a 4-to-3 decision, the court ruled that McAuliffe overstepped his clemency powers by issuing a sweeping order in April restoring rights to all ex-offenders who are no longer incarcerated or on probation or parole.

The court agreed with state Republicans who challenged McAuliffe’s order, arguing that the governor can only restore voting rights on a case-by-case basis and not en masse.

If Trump is defeated and/or Obama ad-Dajjal or Hillary attempts to issue such a blanket pardon, I hope that sane people will convince the federal courts to follow the wise decision of the VA Supreme Court. Anything else would be a travesty of justice.
