But will a presidential pardon make him lawsuit-proof?
I don’t believe so. A pardon would be a forgiveness of criminal wrongdoing, but I don’t think it affects civil issues. I’m not a lawyer, though, so I could be wrong about this.
You're right. He can still be sued. The Government will pay for it.
My biggest fear is that Ginsberg will abruptly retire and Obama will nominate Holder to replace her and Harry Reid will nuke him onto the bench.
