Actually a good chance for the Supreme Court to stay that a pardon is ABSOLUTE and that no government entity, such as a rouge DA in New York City, can then file charges against someone who has been pardoned.

Would be fun to see that BACKFIRE in their faces.

Actually, a presidential pardon only covers federal crimes, so a local prosecutor can bring charges for state crimes.

We’re overdue on the SC ruling that this sort of thing violates the Double Jeopardy clause.
