The inability of our system to hold Trump and his henchmen accountable makes this interference likely. John Roberts and his majority made this possible with their obscene decision in Trump v. US. Impeach the Roberts Majority.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever
Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

King James II’s reign and the Glorious Revolution was supposed to enforce the general idea that the executive cannot suspend the laws of the land and must faithfully execute them. Why should the pardon power be used as a runaround to subvert the rule of law rather than being used as an act of mercy?
