President Withdraws Pardon For Isaac R. Toussie After Learning Of Contributions To GOP By His Father

ROFLMAO! He revokes the pardon because of the possible appearance of impropriety. Why start now? Bush has hardly done anything proper since he was elected!

[kevboom]

There''s really no place for pardons in a Democracy with a judicial system. It''s like the King of England waving a scepter over someone''s head. We kicked that supreme leader BS to the curb several centuries ago, and if we didn''t, we should have. Ridiculous.

Gee, Bush was worried about this looking like cheap politics? I mean, after pardoning Libby, how could he possibly care?

[tincup356]

Our country is in the mess it is because of Bush and both parties of Congress they should all be tried for treason and yes , Bush ..Cheney and Rumsfeld should face war crimes trials...White Collar Suit and Tie Terrorists.

26 more days and this moron will be yesterday''s news...none too soon, either.

Yeah, Bush of Cheney should be procecuted for invading Iraq.
saddam was using WMD to kill hundred of thousand of his own people, not ours. What''''s the world coming to when a man can''''t even committ mass murder in his own country. So what if he supported terrorists, it''''s his country after all, the man can do whatever he wants. And so what if he invaded Kuwait and Kuwaitis are still unaccounted for today. They probably did something to deserve it. His 2 sons was just having some fun with the girls, you know, boys will be boys.
Looking back,Bush and Cheney should of left poor saddam alone, he was just having some fun with his people, the guy was so harmless.

Saddam Hussein wasn''t "killing hundred of thousand" (sic) of his own people with WMDs. I guess you haven''t read a newspaper in the past five years, and don''t know that the so-called WMDs didn''t exist. Just a ruse to get lazy Americans to support the illegal war, rather than question its motives.
Saddam didn''t "support terrorists" either. I assume you''re referring to the tired old story about Saddam paying money to the families of Palestinians whose homes were illegally demolished by the Israelis?
Perhaps you should take a course in english grammar, rather than excite yourself over foreign matters?

d7767w, the topic is Bush, his pardon and typical sleazy Republican politics. Nothing to do with the president-elect.

[jsilver2th]

Boy- I''d take that to court- once he lets the genie out of the bottle I''d say that''s the end of that and it can''t be revoked- are they like admitting they didn''t do the homework? Makes you wonder about the others-

Too bad your predictions won''''t come true. As President and Commander-In-Chief, President Bush exercised his perogatives, none of which warrant charges against him or Cheney. But you can dream!

Of all the arrogant, stupid postings I''ve read here, and the Republican trolls have provided some real doozies, that has to be the most arrogant of all.

Bush has committed treasonous, impeachable acts on an almost daily basis for years.

Our Deserter-in-Chief is not merely an inept, mentally and morally challenged president...HE''S A CRIMINAL!

Hopefully, after January 20th, the leaks about wrongdoing and the tell-all books will start to come out and someone in the new administration will grow a pair of balls and have these people indicted and prosecuted. these vermin have looted the country and bankrupted the world.

rhs648 points out that "As President and Commander-In-Chief, President Bush exercised his perogatives [regarding pardons], none of which warrant charges against him or Cheney."

That''s true, but quite beside the point. The pardons that the previous post referred to were pardons not just for Bush himself, but for a whole list of people in his administration. From that, it''s obvious that the previous post was not talking only about a pardon from Bush to himself. The Constitution sets limits on a President''s "perogatives," believe it or not. It''s the numerous crimes by Bush against the Constitution, specifically, failure to uphold his oath of office to faithfully execute the laws of the United States (see, signing statements) and failure to respect the heart and soul of the Constiution -- separation of powers -- that the previous post was obviously referring to. Whether people agree or disagree re whether Bush, et al, are guilty of such crimes (and a number of staunchly conservative Constitutional scholars like Bruce Fein believe he and his crew are DEFINITELY guilty), the notion that some vague, unlimited expanse of Presidential
"perogatives" exist to give Bush complete immunity from any criminal accountability is simply false. Richard Nixon could tell you that much from the grave.

Almost a million humans are dead because Bush exercized his perogative and lied 962 times for this war for profit.

I''d say that warrants war crime trials and charges for crimes against humanity.

Or maybe you wouldn''t have a problem if this ruthless murderer decided to exercize his perogative and had your family slaughtered.

[notfooled]

I heard that Bush is going to pardon Cheney and then resign his office one day before it expires so that Cheney can pardon him.

These men will have to look over their shoulders for the rest of their sick, miserable,lives.

[rhs648]

Bush is saving the pardons for himself, Dik Cheney, Karl Rove, Rummy, Alberto Gonzales, Libby, Harriet Miers, Karen, Gen. Petraeus, etc. That way they can''''t be threatened by a Federal grand jury and have to give up someone to stay out of jail like the others who will be indicted.

He might should give Laura Bush and Mrs. Cheney pardons too, otherwise they might have to testify against other people in government two.
