There is case law that says a pardon implies an admission of guilt, and that will have to be argued in open court.

If he has been pardoned, then what is the point? Is this the way most Pres. pardons are handled? If not, then unusual punishment is unconstitutional.

It is worse than that. The issue is moot. Long ago it was determined that Federal courts have no jurisdiction where there is nothing to decide, no “case in controversy,” no relief that may be granted. Given Arpaio has been pardoned, there is no relief a court may grant to the state, and maintenance of such an action is thereby frivolous.
