The use of the autopen, a device that reproduces signatures and is ubiquitous in government and business, is ordinarily uncontroversial. There is no power to undo a pardon in the Constitution or case law.

    I hope this really destroys the autopen not because I think that laws and such should have to be signed by hand but just because I want liberal democracy to be harder for the law makers.

    Lol he’s really trying to go there. I doubt they (SCOTUS) let him do it though because Biden was senile and there might be genuine argument his staffers and family were making these calls there is a chance they try and do a one-time only exemption just so Trump can be petty.

      They revoke any document signed by autopem and suddenly all the Jan6 rioters go back to prison. lol
