Risking 3, 4, 5 (?) SCOTUS picks for what ?
What was the payoff ??
Convenience ??
Risking $10K on a coin toss for $100K is one thing, risking $10K on a coin toss for a bag of tater chips when you're peckish is another thing entirely.
Giving someone else (Comey) that kind of power is dumb too, keep the reins firmly in hand, don't ever hand them off to anyone else regardless whether they are vetted/bought/co-op'd/whatever since even with the best game plan around, those fucking Souters can slip in unaware and fuck you raw.
And Souter is just a recent example of the phenomena, how do you think Roe v. Wade happened in '73 ??

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
