Bu$h*t's Pardons

[CityZen-X]

After Nov. 2nd the Commander & Chimp will have two more months to screw this country and the planet. And imagine all his criminal friends that will be pardoned! Who do you think will be the first to get the Bu$h*t blessing?

1. He can't pardon anyone...

None of them have been convicted yet !!!

3. Yes, he can.

One of the Republicans presidents pre-pardoned bunches of his criminal cronies.

The right of pardon is absolute.

7. You're kidding me ?

That can't be true. If it is true, I'm sure it will be a LONG list !

8. Absolute Indeed!

I imagine a list is being concocted as we speak. And it should be huge to say the least!

9. Ahh, but to pardon before indictment or conviction

would lead political observers the obvious conclusion:

THEY'RE GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!

Besides, is not a pardon for something they did, which must be disclosed in the letter of pardon. I was not aware the president had the power to give anyone "carte blanche" or a "get out jail free card." Supposedly this is the difference in our system of checks and balances from the abuses of previous systems (think Cardinal Richelieu if you need an example of an abuser).

Imagine the outrage if Scooter, Karl, and Unkle Dick are pardoned for treason.

6. Ford pardoned Nixon

before Nixon was criminally charged with anything. Impeachment is not part of the criminal system.

2. Ken Lay

4. That's the one!

I really thought it would happen before now, with all the hoopla about Lay requesting an appearance in September.

11. Are you kidding? He'll pardon himself and Dick Cheney first. Then

John Ashcroft.

But I'll take it only if it means * loses, and decidedly loses.
