President Gerald Ford's pardon of President Richard Nixon
This was a very unique pardon was negotiated, attempting to avoid dragging the country through a morass of what its going through today.
Do you even read history?
President Jimmy Carter's pardon of Vietnam draft dodgers
This was not preemptive, the law that was broken was clear.
President George H.W. Bush's pardon of Caspar Weinberger,
Casper was charged.
Okay, were the Repubican Pardons to protect the guilty?

By definition.
It is HIGHLY likely that this SC will find justification for to approve -------- EO in some form or another.
Unfortunately I think I have found the "justification".

It will be unfortunate if the SC rules in favor. Given the EO nature, next President nullifies, why take it to court? Then when Democrats are back in control, just change it again?
The point being, if SCOTUS does decide, its done. Of course I have a vested interest in this, I won't whine like the TruthHurts does over it, I have never seen someone whine so much about so little in all my short life.
