Tyler Nixon compared Biden's blanket pardons to the "letters of marque" used by the British Crown to allow agents to operate with impunity. He contrasted this with the legitimate pardon of Abraham Bolden, the first black Secret Service agent who was framed after whistleblowing on the JFK assassination. Nixon argued that the founders intended pardons to be a check on judicial error, not a license for executive criminality.
