That pardon of Nixon should have been challenged in court. It was another case of legal fatigue after getting that older chief schmuck out of office.

The left keeps falling into that trap.

The left, or in any case, the Democratic party has been on the back foot since Reagan, or so it seems to me. We have smoothed over things that would have been wiser to hash out, and set firmer boundaries. The more we cowered or shortcut, the more ruthless the "Party of privilege" has become.
