This month, I joined Corey Astill in launching a podcast. The Conservative Minds Podcast is dedicated to examining conservative intellectual history to determine the core values of American conservatism. We look at a different book each week and discuss what the author’s views about conservatism mean in his time and our own, and examine what it means to be a conservative in modern America.

I just read your article on presidential pardons. It appears to me that your reason for writing this is rather vague. So please help me to understand. 1. Did you write this because of serious abuses of the presidential pardoning powers or, because of a preconceived notion that the presidential pardons of the kind you describe (and disagree with) are in the near future? 2. Would we even be having this discussion if anyone but Donald Trump was President?
Warmest Regards ,

I doubt it would have been proposed if not for Trump, but I explained in the article why it is a good idea and that most abuses of the power were during the Clinton administration.
