Self-Pardoning?

       Judge Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump's pick for the Supreme Court doesn't know whether Trump could pardon himself if convicted of a crime. Or perhaps I should say that he hasn't made up his mind if that would be possible. Really? Do you think that anyone could be so unsure of such a thing as self pardoning? Should any president now or in the future be allowed to forgive himself of any crime? Even if it were to endanger our country?
       Can you imagine that answer on the court? Its no answer. It means that if some member of the mafia got elected to the presidency, problems would start very quickly. "What do you mean you don't like the way I'm doing things? Bang, you're dead. Okay, next?"
       Seriously, our country is close to crises and a nominee for the Supreme Court, a lifetime appointment, doesn't know if a president can pardon himself? I think he needs to be told to go sit in a corner until he has an answer. The only explanation is that if he told his opinion, he'd never get approved by the Senate. At least I hope he'd not get Senate approval. Such a thing as self pardoning would make a mockery of our judicial system.
       If it is actually constitutionally correct that a president could pardon himself, then we need a constitutional amendment and we need it sooner than later. Like next week. I can't imagine that any thoughtful American could consider that to be an appropriate right for any president to have. And I do hopefully believe that a super majority of Americans agree with me.
