Wilson didn’t decide the constitutionality of the case, the Supreme Court did. Attacking the ruling because Wilson was a terrible president doesn’t change the fact that the decision in Burdick v. United States, is still valid law.

The court said and emphasized in Connecticut Board of Pardons v. Dumschat, that pardons “have not traditionally been the business of courts; as such, they are rarely, if ever, appropriate subjects for judicial review.”

Given the convoluted rulings that come out of the Supreme Court logic is rarely used in their decisions, especially today with the lefties on the court make up decisions based on politics instead of the constitution. If Trump can get more judges on the supreme court to replace ones that leave then constitutionality of the law may return in their decision making. Sotomayor is not very healthy and could pull a Ginsberg on the lefties and be replaced in Trump’s upcoming term.

Roe v. Wade was also SCOTUS Precedent, along with Dredd Scott.
The court was wrong and Hunter’s pardon demonstrates how insane the ruling was.

And Trump was taking advice from the status quo, not from people who actually care about good law or Constitutionality.
He’s wrong about self pardons, even Nixon knew it wouldn’t hold up and that’s why Ford did the pardon.
