as in a first time many Foxoids have ever been exposed to actual Constitution words. Oh dear, the cognitive dissonance must hurt.

by getting everyone spending time on self Pardon instead of Healthcare costs, environment, humongous budget deficits, right to choose, DACA, Mueller investigation, and rising inflation.

It is same as the trick magicians use to display a shining object to distract audience. Self-Pardon is right now a non-issue, before criminal charges are announced by Mueller's team.

That is how Fox News claims Fair & Balanced. Shep is the token. Who else do they have who is not right wing?

He still is a moderate. I'm afraid they'll can him on Fox, and we'll lose a sane voice on Fox.

...Shep would be an upgrade.

I don't have cable, so I never have the opportunity to watch his full shows, but if the clips I've posed on DU are any evidence, I would much prefer to see him than Hewitt.

But you're right about him being on Fox...even though the "Fox Fans" yell and scream and call for his firing every time he fails to bow before the Orange King.
