Interesting. I must now wonder what other stalling tactics will be used by the white house. I am sure they will come up with something.

"But though there is no difference in this respect between the best demagogue and the worst, both of them having to present their cases equally in terms of melodrama, there is all the difference in the world between the statesman who is humbugging the people into allowing him to do the will of God, in whatever disguise it may come to him, and one who is humbugging them into furthering his personal ambition and the commercial interests of the plutocrats who own the newspapers and support him on reciprocal terms."
-George Bernard Shaw

Appeals until Bush is about to leave office then a flurry of pardons, I expect.

Once again you can not pardon someone that has not even been charged with a crime. But then intelligence and reality seldom ruin your day do they?

I never said that you had no right to have an opinion. I just said that it was, in fact, worth nothing.

Yes you can, sport.

A POTUS can pardon them for things that they might be charged with at some guture date.

You really don't pay attention to these things very closely, do you?

No they can not. The Pardon only applies to things charged with or convicted of. A president can not pardon people for future crimes. Nor can he pardon them for things that they are not charged with.

Ohh and he can not pardon himself either.

But what why are you all worried about November anyway, as I recall Bush is going to stage a Coup and take over as Dictator for life right before or after he invades Iran. Or at least ya all have been saying that for 3 years now.

It's good to see that the courts are trying to do something.
