I can't imagine SCOTUS upholding a self pardon. That would give a sociopath POTUS the power to violate any federal law out there with impunity. That isn't going to happen. But we are not going to find out, unless Trump does it in the next hour, or has already put it in the Presidential desk drawer in lieu of a best wishes and good luck note to his successor.
