So Pence can’t pardon Trump. If Trump actually committed  a crime, I am certain he will be indicted within one year of the next election.

There goes Trump's last hope of not getting prosecuted once he's out of office.

That is the only reason why I am interested in this decision.

What would be more interesting is a case that involves a behavior committed in one state where it is legal and having that same behavior be a serious or even a heinous crime in another state where the person committing the behavior  has some sort of ties to the latter state. Law school or even an undergraduate civics class says this is settled law but there could be extreme and unanticipated situations in the future.

Does anyone know what I am insinuating or is this being largely digested as a “AW is bored again” post?

Hint: maybe a little but... abor✝️ion. Georgia. Others.
