A fox in the henhouse is working against President Trump and the victims of lawfare.

For four years under Joe Biden, Americans watched political prosecutions unfold across the country. January 6 defendants were charged in sweeping indictments, crypto executives were pursued like national terrorists, and a young husband and father was targeted and convicted for sharing a satirical anti-Hillary meme. Weaponized lawfare became a headline fixture in the United States. And throughout that period, there was no urgency from Congress to rein in executive power.

Now, as President Trump uses his constitutional pardon authority to extend clemency in cases that are politically charged, one Republican has decided the pardon power suddenly needs oversight and guardrails.

Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska has joined Dems in backing a proposed constitutional amendment that would give Congress the authority to block presidential pardons. This is all aimed at President Trump's efforts to right the wrongs of the left's weaponized lawfare agenda.
