“The Supreme Court has made clear that, subject to the exception for impeachment, the president’s power to grant pardons is “unlimited,” with virtually no oversight or limiting role for Congress.
The president can issue a pardon at any point after a crime is committed and before, during or after criminal proceedings have taken place. The president cannot, however, pardon someone for future crimes. A pardon covers both the offender’s conviction for the crime and the sentence for that crime.”

I agree. It’s a little scary that the President has absolute power in that it could be interpreted as to mean blankets are permitted. It does not say one have to be convicted before being pardoned it just states that crime must have occurred before the event. I suppose the forefathers didn’t consider someone might be that blatant corrupt and I agree it needs to be challenged before accepted. If we consider crime same as sin and apply the spiritual laws it does not hold up in court. Jesus saved us all on the cross and his forgiveness is available to ALL. Pardons are the same here. However no one is born with a blanket check that clears them of any future sin. We must come before Jesus and confess the sin, admit our guilt, rebuke and repent. If you are not aware of a crime or sin committed a blanket forgiveness would devoid you going through the steps to receive forgiveness in the first place. This goes against the spiritual laws and so I believe it should be in the physical. Hopefully SCOTUS will get this on their desk and come to the right conclusion.
