Kavanaugh clip

In addition, pardon in the U.S. doesn't protect from extradition to another country. (not to my knowledge)

Also, in Carlesi v. New York, the Court determined that a pardoned offense could still be considered "as a circumstance of aggravation" under a state habitual-offender law,10 reflecting that although a pardon may obviate the punishment for a federal crime, it does not erase the facts associated with the crime or preclude all collateral effects arising from those facts.

(See Nixon v. United States, 506 U.S. 224, 232 (1993) ("[T]he granting of a pardon is in no sense an overturning of a judgment of conviction by some other tribunal; it is an executive action that mitigates or sets aside punishment for a crime." (citation, internal quotation marks, and alteration omitted)).

Follow?
