The pardon of Hunter Biden has ignited a firestorm of criticism, yet the consensus among legal experts seems to be that overturning the pardon is simply not feasible. This isn’t a novel situation; presidential pardons have been a source of contention throughout history, but the current political climate has amplified the outrage.
