The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

At this point, we know that Biden was virtually non compost mentos by the end of his term of office, when most of these pardons were granted.

Is that a thing we know? Do you think that you could, today walk into a court of law and have Joe Biden involuntarily committed to a facility or declared incompetent to make his own judgments and decisions?

I don't believe so. I certainly believe that there is a vast gulf between "being minimally competent to avoid being declared legally incapacitated" and "being able to do perform well in the hardest job on earth" - but I don't believe that Joe Biden today meets the legal standard for being non compos mentis. Which is probably what you'd have to be able to prove in order for his pardons to be legally insufficient. Which means you'd need actual evidence that he was not legally competent - which I think you would concede you don't have.
