So it will go to the Supreme Court and they will say everything is fine
What is not clear to me is how it will get there…normally there is a case that is raised from state to federal court. But afaik a pardon is not a case, it’s just…a unilateral executive order of some kind (obviously ianal). If it were a federal conviction, obviously CO wouldn’t have any jurisdiction to refuse. But if this was a state matter, and there’s no “case” to escalate to SCOTUS, I’m not actually sure what happens next…maybe he tries sending in the national guard to enforce his order, and the state challenges it, and that goes all the way to SCOTUS?

I was like “yeah, that sounds like a fox headline”.
