Susan B. Anthony memorial refuses to accept Trump's pardon of civil rights leader

A pardon would 'validate' the injustice she suffered, group says.

A group honoring the life and legacy of American civil rights icon Susan B. Anthony has refused to accept President Trump's posthumous pardon of her, arguing the effort would give unearned legitimacy to the 1873 court proceedings that found her guilty of breaking a law that prohibited women from voting.

Trump this week announced he was pardoning Anthony for the conviction, a measure the president took on the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which recognized the right of women to vote.

Yet the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House this week rejected the president's gesture, telling the president in a press release that the memorial organization "must decline [his] offer of a pardon."

The foundation noted that Anthony, when she was convicted of voting, refused to "pay a dollar of [the] unjust penalty."

"To pay would have been to validate the proceedings. To pardon Susan B. Anthony does the same," the museum said in its statement.

So what? 

[Smokin Joe]

You just can't be nice to some folks.
Considering he is the first, iirc to even make the gesture, It is singularly ungracious of them to spit upon it.

[Fishrrman]

Well... eff 'em, then.
RESCIND the pardon.

Women shouldn't have been given the vote, anyway...    (runnin' and hidin')

[Hoodat]

Worth mentioning:

The judge who oversaw her trial, Ward Hunt, was a Democrat.  He denied her the right to speak on her behalf.  He ordered the jury to find her guilty, and he read from a closing opinion that had been written before the trial even started.  When the defense asked to poll the jury, he denied their request.

Also worth mentioning:

The person who authored the 19th Amendment and introduced it to the Senate was Sen. Aaron Sargent, a Republican.

I have to agree with you, about some women.  ANY ONE LEFT,  DEMON-RAT WOMAN, SHOULD NOT VOTE OR BE IN ANY PUBLIC OFFICE.   LOOK AT THEM. LISTEN TO THEM.   ALL NUTS.

@LegalAmerican

Understand something here....

The only reason they are taking the cost-free snub of a Pardon is because they are trying to cheapen any pardons Trump may proffer to people like Michael Flynn.

It's all political.

Well, you aren't the first to have that thought,

(But I realized that being rational is the key, and the nancy-boys sporting those 'stylish' pink beanies don't qualify, either.)

Had it been Obama that did this, these same people would be nominating him for another Nobel Prize.

Right.  It's not the gender factor.  It's the leftist stupidity factor.  But yeah, on average, women are more "emotional" than men.  Ok... more than "some" men.  Pajama boys don't count as men in my logic book.

That is true. Or Hillary BTW.
However, it is not unusual at all for innocent people to refuse a pardon. Happens all the time.
They believe that a pardon will seal their guilt to a crime they did not do.
As was said, they don't think she should be pardoned because they believe she never committed a crime.

[dfwgator]

That's their problem, not Trump's.

[jmyrlefuller]

And who granted this organization permission to speak on the late Ms. Anthony's behalf?
