Nixon is the test case

Ford's pardon was never tested in court. Can a President pardon crimes that haven't been charged yet? I don't think so. This sounds like the Pope practicing indulgences back in the 1400/1500s.

One thing that I read over and over is that....in accepting any pardon carries an assumption of guilt.

Supreme Court case establishing the precedent. No, I haven’t read it. It’s too early in the morning.
