There likely is no specificity requirement, and pardons don't need to use any kind of set verbiage. And people still being considered guilty even after a pardon isn't universally accepted, either.

Burdick v. United States.

I mean saying "isn't universally accepted" what the gently caress does that mean? It isn't "universally accepted" that Hillary Clinton isn't a lizard person, that Trump isn't a freedom fighter battling the deep state and a satanic pedophile ring.

There's a lot of things that are facts that not universally accepted.

Nowhere in that decision does the court find that accepting a pardon necessarily means you accept guilt, just that it potentially implies guilt. Acceptance of a pardon is not an admission of guilt.

It's not accepted among legal scholars, why are you bringing in weird conspiracy theories that have nothing to do with the issue at hand like you're Vital Signs.

It can be expensive and extremely disruptive to have to fight in court, and there is always the chance that you get found guilty anyway because of a lovely jury or judge.

There's a lot of things that are facts that not universally accepted.

Burdick is focused on whether a pardon could be refused, in particular whether a pardoned individual could then be forced to waive their 5th amendment rights and testify.

The quote that everyone uses from Burdick to support the contention that a pardon is an acceptance of guilt wasn’t a finding of law, it was simply an observation that one reason a person might choose to refuse a pardon was to avoid the implication that they were guilty.

Until there’s actually a test case where a pardon is used as proof of commission of a crime there isn’t any settled law on this, insofar as law is ever really settled since the Supreme Court is constantly rewriting it.

Lol no. Being innocent and wrongly convicted doesn't guarantee you won't rot in prison.

Plus Hard to imagine someone with enough political pull for a pardon suffering for it. Hard to believe trumps bought into the billshit about his legacy if he pardons his friends family and self.

Since Ontario had to make a specific law that said expressions of contrition or commiseration (outside court) can't be used as evidence for wrongdoing, and it comes from the same legal tradition as most jurisdictions in the US, clearly it's a possibility.

It's very funny to me that these people apparently thought that just aimlessly milling about the capitol for a while = a coup. That's how it works right, like when you're capturing the objective in Call of Duty, or Battlefield?

The year is 2023. The Black Machines have won. SorosNet unleashed it's anti-white missiles against the remaining caucasian population, wiping out our cities. And for those who survived, it sent the Terminators.

*Camera pan up to a Terminator with a matte black finish and a Joe Biden skin-mask, flapping in the breeze as it crushes a skull underfoot, a Gadsden Flag fluttering off the skeletal ribcage half-buried in ash.*

We should have fought back when Diamond Joe cracked open GEOTUS Trump's ribcage on live stream and crushed his heart in his hands, screaming in technophonic elation. We should have seen it coming, when the Antifa SuperSoldiers marched down our streets, and Black Panther Tanks ran roughshod through our neighborhoods. We should have seen it all coming.

And now the Terminators are sending one of their own back in time, to try to kill the leader of the Persistence, Barron Trump. We must send our best, one of our Very Good People, back to stop it.

The final battle would not be fought in the future. It would be fought here, in our present.
