Imagine if you will, please, the following scenario:
A condemned man has exhausted all his appeals--even the governor has refused to review the matter--and is scheduled to be executed tomorrow.
Suddenly--like manna from heaven!--the president lets it be known that he will pardon the man.
The man's attorney, however, rejects the pardon. Why, he does not like President Trump--he voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and fully plans to vote for Joe Biden in 2020--so he would simply prefer to let his client die tomorrow.
Question: Just how long do you suppose it would be before that attorney would be disbarred?
Well, the Susan B. Anthony Museum has done much the same thing.
It has rejected President Trump's pardon of Susan B. Anthony, who was convicted in 1873 of having voted (as a female, yet!) in a federal election.
The rationale: Why, the president is guilty of "voter suppression"; so Ms. Anthony would surely not have wished to have him as a comrade.
