trev's JournalA modern day Caligula?
From Wikipedia:
"...cruelty, sadism, extravagance, and sexual perversion, presenting him as an insane tyrant. While the reliability of these sources is questionable, it is known that during his brief reign, Caligula worked to increase the unconstrained personal power of the emperor, as opposed to countervailing powers within the principate. He directed much of his attention to ambitious construction projects and luxurious dwellings for himself...."

Sounds vaguely familiar....
NY to pass bill allowing state to prosecute those with presidential pardons
"New York is one signature away from allowing prosecutors to pursue state charges against presidential associates who have received federal pardons.
The Democratic-controlled state assembly on Tuesday passed a bill 90-52 allowing the state-level prosecution of people pardoned of federal crimes, provided that they worked for or were related to the president at the time of the pardon."
