Many years ago, in a country no one has seen for a while, there were some great thinking men, who in their wisdom crafted a constitution, a rule book of sorts, to guide a new country through many unseen and perilous waters. This rule book has for the most part served this new republic fairly well. Especially the 3 branches of government part.
Now I'm no political expert, but I seem to remember some of the basics of this rule book. If I remember correctly, the Executive branch has no control, or power over the Judicial branch, beyond selecting members for it. Or maybe it used to be that way.
I will openly attest that I don't know all the facts. From the sound of it, I'm getting the idea few people, if any, really know all the facts. If someone has been convicted by a jury of their peers, and that conviction was upheld by an appellate court review, seems to me there must be some pretty clear evidence for these people to come to that decision. Yet for some odd reason, our beloved President (capitalized out of respect only for the office) seems to think he has not only the knowledge of the facts, but the right to overturn this decision.
He worked entirely too closely with Mitch Daniels.
This is a scary world we live in!
