Joe Biden 2024 thread - Dark Brandon Where Art Thou?
Well, it's a classic case of "obiter dictum." The question presented in Burdick was whether an unconditional pardon needs to be accepted to be effective. The prior case of Wilson had established that a conditional pardon must be accepted to be effective, that is, the conditions complied with. So, the question of guilt, implied, assumed or presumed (presumed in law has a special meaning, it's a substitute for proof), was not before the court. In speculating why a pardon recipient might wish to reject a pardon, and discussing how a pardon differs from other forms of "clemency," that are effective regardless of acceptance, the court referred to the "imputation" of guilt and that acceptance might constitute admission or confession of guilt. Wilson had similarly speculated that the conditions of compliance of a conditional pardon might be more onerous than the penalties for the crime, at least in the eyes of the defendant. So, the language of the court was not needed to reach its holding and is thus "obiter dictum," and may be ignored. -
