House Dem Suggests Revisiting Pardon Power of Presidents

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/gerry-connolly-pardon-power-president/2024/12/02/id/1190093/

Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., panned President Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter Biden, suggesting Monday that lawmakers need to "revisit" the pardon power given to presidents by the Constitution.

Connolly made the remarks in an interview with CNN, reacting to Biden's "full and unconditional" pardon for his son, who was set to face two sentencing hearings this month for a felony gun conviction and a guilty plea to felony tax evasion.

"As a father myself, and as someone who knows Joe Biden, I can sympathize with his perspective," Connolly told CNN. "Having said that, what other father in America has power to pardon his son or daughter if they're convicted of a crime?

"I really think we have to revisit the pardon power in the Constitution. At the very least, we've got to circumscribe it so that you don't get to pardon relatives, even if you believe passionately that they're innocent or their cause is just."

The president and the White House asserted no less than 10 times since June 2023 that he would not pardon his son or commute any sentence he might receive.

Although Biden said the decision to reverse himself came over the weekend, NBC News reported he had been discussing a pardon with his closest aides since his son's gun conviction in June and to mislead the public. Two people told NBC News that "it was decided at the time that he would publicly say he would not pardon his son even though doing so remained on the table," according to the report.

Hunter Biden was set to be sentenced Dec. 12 on the federal gun conviction and Dec. 16 on the federal tax evasion charges he pleaded guilty to in September. Further, the president pardoned his son for any offenses he has "committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014, through December 1, 2024."

Connolly told CNN that a constitutional amendment should be implemented to enumerate the limits of the presidential pardon. Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution states the president "shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offences against the United States, except in cases of impeachment."

"I think we're probably going to have to amend the Constitution because the pardon power is so sweeping," he told Reuters. "I don't believe the pardon power should be as broad as it is."

Keep in mind, this is Joe Biden's home state.

Delaware Confiscates $100 Billion of Musk's Wealth

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/delaware-judge-ruling/2024/12/02/id/1190116/

A Delaware judge moved Monday to confirm its confiscation of Elon Musk's wealth that he created at Tesla — denying him a compensation package that would be worth over $100 billion in value today.

Musk has paid a heavy price for countering woke politics, making X a neutral platform, and backing Donald Trump for president.

Delaware Chancellor Judge Kathaleen McCormick on Monday ruled to confirm her January ruling that found Musk was not eligible for a 2018 compensation package then valued at $56 billion.

McCormick complained the Tesla package for Musk was the "biggest compensation plan ever — an unfathomable sum."

After McCormick had initially ruled that Musk had not gotten proper approval from Tesla shareholders, Musk filed suit.

Musk said he properly received board approval and later hit financial targets to earn the compensation, including benchmarks based on stock value, profitability, and revenue.

At one point, visionary Musk had driven the value of Tesla to close a trillion dollars during the compensation period. Today, Tesla holds a market cap of over $1.1 trillion.

After the judge's January 2024 ruling, Tesla went back to its shareholders to approve the Musk compensation plan.

In June, Tesla shareholders again approved the original $56 billion compensation overwhelmingly — with 77% of stock owners backing Musk and the package.

After the shareholder vote, Tesla went back to the Delaware court to seek its approval, only to find its compensation plan rebuffed again.

"Even if a stockholder vote could have a ratifying effect, it could not do so here," McCormick said in her opinion Monday.

"Were the court to condone the practice of allowing defeated parties to create new facts for the purpose of revising judgments, lawsuits would become interminable," she wrote.

McCormick saw little contradiction, however, in penalizing Musk for the wealth he created, while granting the lawyers who sued him on behalf of shareholders an incredible $345 million in attorney fees for their legal filings.

Musk was not happy by today's ruling and took to X writing, "Shareholders should control company votes, not judges."

Musk reposted other X posts critical of the ruling.

One repost stated: "Things to do in Delaware: 1) Leave."

Musk also reported fund manager Cathie Wood's X post where she called McCormick an "activist judge at its worst."

Wood continued: "No judge has the right to determine CEO compensation. Shareholders voted twice, overwhelming each time, to ratify @elonmusk's 2018 performance-based pay package."

Since the court's first ruling, Musk has been on the warpath with Delaware.

This year he moved both Tesla and SpaceX's incorporation from Delaware to Texas. He also moved Neuralink to Nevada.

Musk has also urged other companies to quit Delaware as well.

On X, Musk has stated bluntly, "Never incorporate your company in the state of Delaware."

The home state of President Joe Biden, Delaware has come under criticism for its close ties to the Biden family and its political agenda.

Last year, The Wall Street Journal published an article, co-authored by former Attorney General William Barr, lambasting Delaware for embracing far-left Environmental, Social, and Governance policies and attempting to push them on corporations.

And The Hill reported that major corporations are fleeing Delaware as a result of its highly politicized agenda.

Data suggests Delaware is seeing a drop-off of new incorporations. In 2022, the last year the state released data, Delaware saw a 6% fall in new incorporations.

Newsom Proposes $25M War Chest for Legal Fights With Trump

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/gavin-newsom-california-legal/2024/12/02/id/1190105/

California’s Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday announced he is seeking up to $25 million in additional funding for legal fights with the incoming administration of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

The announcement came on the first day of a special session of the California legislature dedicated to preparing the liberal state for the second term of conservative Trump. If approved by the legislature, the California Department of Justice and state agencies would get the extra funding for court battles in areas such as reproductive rights, environmental protection and immigration.

“The new litigation fund will help safeguard critical funding for disaster relief, health care, and other vital services that millions of Californians depend on daily”, the governor wrote in the proposal. He added the state plans to “defend against unlawful federal actions that could jeopardize not only tangible resources and the state’s economy” as well as protection of reproductive health care and civil rights.

The fights could also force the federal government to pay needed funding, Newsom said in a statement, citing successful legal skirmishes with the federal government during the first Trump administration.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta, also a Democrat, said in a press conference, that his agency would staff up to be able to react quickly to Trump administration action with motions for restraining orders and injunctions.

California spent $42 million to support litigation in Trump’s first term between 2017-2022. The state filed over 120 lawsuits challenging Trump Administration actions.

The state assembly also has introduced bills geared toward protecting access to abortion medication and enforcing the Reproductive Privacy Act, Bonta said.

Newsom's office expects the special budget legislation to be signed into law before Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
