Oops. I forgot to mention this stuff.

It's an MSNBC vid

After convincing President Biden to pardon his son Hunter, South Carolina Rep. Jim Clyburn is now calling for clemency for Donald Trump. "If we keep digging at things in the past, I'm not too sure the country will not lose its way," Clyburn tells MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart.

    As far as anyone knows, it's an Air Bud rule situation

    I'd fully expect it to go to the Supreme Court and be ruled constitutional 5-4 with Roberts dissenting to "preserve his legacy" or whatever knowing full well Thomas+Alito+Gorsuch+Kavanaugh+Conehead are 100% rubber stamping a "the president(R) can do whatever" decision

      Don't you need to be personally harmed to bring a suit? Who's personally harmed by Trump writing himself a pardon? The prosecutor's ego?

      It is of course a stupid and useless action since clearly being a crime guy didn't stop him from assuming the presidency, and pardoning himself will just get the hogs baying in approval, so idk

        It would be litigated when/if a prosecutor tried to bring charges against Trump for conduct that was self-pardoned
