> Presidential pardon immunity is unreversable
But presidents are also immune against prosecution for official acts. Could a president just disregard pardons from a prior administration? Immovable object, irresistible force kinda situation right?
Yes, but the courts would dismiss the case. If not the appeals court would. If not the Supreme Court would.
And then you use presidential immunity to Maduro a few justices.
At least 3 members of the Supreme Court are among those working under the current admin who need to be serving life sentences in prison.
If at least two-thirds of the Senate doesn't agree, then that doesn't matter.
