Actually it is correct. These so called pardons will likely end up in front of SCOTUS and be struck down.

“These so called pardons will likely end up in front of SCOTUS and be struck down.”

Like it or not, Ford’s pardon of Nixon held up. Read it again.

“Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.”

Neither of those things will happen.
