I admit I am a bit naive when it comes to politics, but I'm talking about if he becomes president. Wouldn't he be leading the party if that happened?

Leading the party doesn't means that he can take important decisions without consulting anyone. Take Obama for example. He was against sending weapons to the Kiev junta. But the Americans ultimately decided to send weapons to the junta, as Biden and Billary was in favor of it. That said, there are places where leading the party means that you can take all the decisions without consulting anyone. North Korea for example.

They should let him off because he looks a little like Ross from the TV show Friends. Everyone knows Ross would never do anything really bad or Rachel would be mad at him.

Agreed. Just like Amanda Knox. She's pretty good lookin' so even she did slaughter whateverhernamewas she should be allowed to walk.

Will president Rand Paul pardon Ross?

i dont think a pardon is need it here, let him get a fair trial with out any corruption from the government or any political pressure and no pardon will be needed.

Giving him a fair trial is basically the same thing as giving him a pardon, no?

Well, no. He's guilty, duh. A fair trial would still find him guilty and sentence him to jail time.

What it might do is sentence him fairly (ie, same term as other dope dealers, unless they actually get a conviction on the murder charge) instead of giving him many times the sentence of other equally-guilty dope dealers.

No. In what reality do you think they'd let him off? He broke the law massively whether you agree or disagree with those laws. People go to jail for facilitating the sale or drugs and money laundering so there's no court that would ever set him free or give him a light sentence. The best hope he has is getting the verdict thrown out due to the gov crossing the line on how they collected evidence.

No.
Giving him a fair trial means he will be able to defend himself properly without anything left out.
And chances are that he will win the case once the corrupt cops that were working on his case get brought up.
You cannot trust a corrupt cop to do his job honestly, can you?

Speaking of which, how many honest cops are left do you think? And at what positions (VERY important)?

Highly unlikely. Even if Rand personally wants to either pardon Ross Ullbricht, or to reduce his sentence, his colleagues in the Republican party will not allow him to do that. The right-wing religious nuts within the Republican party will revolt against Rand, and they will accuse him of siding with drug dealers and pedophiles. His reputation will be permanently tarnished.

Oh, hey, I could have drugs on the homage site too. In addition to silks and spices, it could sell aspirin and ibuprofen and nasal decongestants and antacids and .... See, then we could set up a site that did drug deals too!

The idea of doing a silk road site selling spices and silk is AWESOME. Lets do it Grin

Well I'm sure that would be great and all, but I can't imagine people will flock to a underground deep web market just to buy spices, but I'm sure there are already markets on the clearnet for doing this and maybe some already called Silk road.

Indeed. You could totally make money of silk and spices. Could sell traditionally made persian rugs too because why not?
