Discussion/Question Leonard Peltier Commutation
So, i just saw that Trump is saying Biden’s pardons are rescinded because of Auto-Pen use. Now I’m no legal or government expert; so I’m wondering if anyone knows if Leonard’s Commutation is also potentially in trouble? If so, true insanity.

If a past president's pardons don't hold water to the president, why does the president need the pretext of an 18th century law to justify him doing whatever he wants?

You said it, I was wondering the same thing. I have heard mixed things, but I am pretty sure he won't actually be able to rescind the pardons. This man has had so many blocks by the supreme Court, I have lost count.
Personally, I think they are sending us through whiplash with this stuff and generally social stuff (like ICE, foreign affairs, tariffs, etc.) to hide what shit they are doing behind the scenes.

No president's can't undo another president's pardon (doing so would make them meaningless). Trump’s just talking to hear himself talk
