No fucking way. If the president could pardon himself it would mean that rule of law, a bedrock principle of our democracy, doesn't apply to the president. I'd expect the court to rule 9-0 against him. No. The Supreme Court is a co-equal branch of government. There is nothing in the Constitution giving them the authority to review a pardon. "Our rule of law" rests in the hands of Congress, who could remove him from office. I've been reading a bunch of articles about this today randomly, and this is virtually unanimously agreed upon. --- "Seph's kind of right."~ Jakyl25 <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:883343922] in Politics C...
