    Oh I’m sure they will, but I think anyone engaging with the issue in good faith will conclude that a it’s implicit in the word “pardon” that it’s something you do for someone else, and the authors of the Constitution would have forbidden self pardoning if it had occurred to them that anyone would twist their words in that particular way.

    I just don’t want the idea to become normalized, because then people will start to just accept it without thinking about whether it makes sense.
