I'll admit my search was not exhaustive but finding specific legal opinions, one way or the other on this from the ACLU is tough. I was a member of the Illinois ACLU at one time and would like to see a definitive statement from them on the subject.


If anyone else has something pertaining I'd really appreciate it.

I'm also aware the ACLU opinion would be inoperative for a case in Australia*.



*Might need another ACLU opinion piece on the legality of SCOTUS associates starting to cite foreign precedents in their opinions . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
