When President Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon in 1974 it was under the assumption that his predecessor could have been prosecuted for his efforts to impede the investigation into the Watergate scandal.
But under the new rule implemented by the Supreme Court on Monday that partially immunized Donald Trump in his election interference case, there may not have been any need for such a pardon.

Correct. This ruling is 100% unsupported by any law or our Constitution. All our previous Presidents save one did the job without any expectation of immunity. Even Nixon, who said to David Frost "When the President does it, it's not illegal" didn't actually believe that. He resigned rather than face impeachment and trial.

A thought to ponder: conservatives are strong against a powerful Federal government and yet support an All-powerful Presidency. (as long as it is "their President")
