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

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

2. Similarly, the power to “grant” pardons doesn’t reach self-pardons. It doesn’t expressly exclude those either. But it didn’t need to. Why? Because we take for granted that nobody can put himself above all federal law. Not after taking an oath to uphold it, for sure. — PolitiTweet.org
