14th amendment section 1

privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States..."

There is a case to be made that the 14th amendment would extend the
federal "immunity" of a presidential pardon to the state laws.

As far as I know it has never been litigated and this is just the guy
to do it ... with a "constitutionalist" friendly SCOTUS.
