Why presidents can’t possibly pardon themselves: I’ll explain to @Lawrence on MSNBC around 10:30 pm ET. It’s time to end the uncertainty. Even a Trump-packed Supreme Court couldn’t disagree without reversing the American Revolution. Hope you tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

If someone asked you: “Can a president pardon himself on day 1 of his presidency so as to immunize whatever crimes he commits during his term?,” you’d say NO WAY. So would James Madison. But a power of self-pardon would confer exactly the same license to live above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

1. Everyone knows the pardon power doesn’t reach state crimes. How do we know that? Art. II says “pardons for offenses against the United States” but it doesn’t say “excluding offenses against just one State.” That didn’t need saying. Why? Because we take federalism for granted. — PolitiTweet.org
