a good idea or an absurd idea.

Do you not see anything wrong with blanket preemptive pardons?

Especially for family members?

What about a president pardoning himself for crimes he committed for the past 15 or 20 years... or for a lifetime? He supposedly can't be tried for crimes while in office, other than potentially being impeached for "high crimes and misdemeanors".

What about future crimes?
