Could NY argue that if Trump gave the subject a *preemptive* pardon (like Ford for Nixon), before the subject had been charged for anything, that the subject had never been “put in [Federal] jeopardy” in the Constitutional sense?

If so, there might be some interesting gamesmanship, with Trump initiating prosecutions of allies simply in order to ensure that pardons would have substance.

Also, is NY trying to criminalize matters that are not properly in a State’s jurisdiction?

Would the NY law pass the constitutionality test? Double jeopardy laws seem like a slam dunk fail or am I missing something?.

And how about a public registry of state employees who offer to provide sex in exchange for money. This of course would include the undercover police officers trolling for Johns.
