In short:

Outgoing US President Joe Biden has pardoned his son Hunter Biden, saying “raw politics … led to a miscarriage of justice”.

Hunter Biden was convicted of gun charges and tax evasion and was facing sentencing hearings scheduled for mid-December.

Joe Biden said he made the decision over the weekend while spending the Thanksgiving holiday with his family.

    The Supreme Court isn’t going to do that. Art. 2 Sec. 2 and the 5A’s double jeopardy clauses are quite clear on the matter.

    They’d sooner overrule Wickard v. Filburn than do that.
