Until you can prove to me that all courts, judges, attorneys, and juries are above reproach and no innocent people are imprisoned there absolutely should be a method for someone to pardon. Sometimes a pardon will be issued for people you disagree with, but that’s part of it. Just like somebody will say something that pisses you off, but that’s the cost of free speech

The authority to pardon is one of the most direct indicators we have for the moral character of an executive.

Less that than that the obviously corrupt, criminal, and/or treasonous should be kept from office at all costs.

Either way, obviously, the system has failed.

Or as the commonplace goes, is working as designed.
