I dunno. If it's a blog on startshiat.com it almost has to be true.

See that would leave Cheney liable for prosecution- and he's the one I'd rather see go down. (I also believe it would require him to expose the lies and misdeeds, or can you just pardon someone for every crime imaginable?)

Bush could claim stupidity and ignorance and I'd believe it, at least partially. But Cheney, ohhhh I would love to see him hang.

But if this did happen I would love to see Hillary's face as when she sees Nancy Pelosi sworn in as the first female President (even if for a brief period).

On '24' President Palmer pardoned Naked Mandy for any crimes she committed or were charged for in the future. Is that legal?

No, I do not believe everything I see on TV, I was just asking.

Sure, but Cheney knows he does not have long, what with his health problems and all. He can probably stall any prosecution long enough that he'll never face it.

Us Republicans will rise again we shall be agents against Obama's change. This is war.

What Bush and Cheney must do is throw so much shiat on Obama's plate that it cause the absolute destruction of America within hours of Obama taking office.

Gerry pardoned Dick for any crime committed. Future crimes? Doubtful.

Now, therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from July (January) 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974

The main logical flaw here is assuming that Cheney would be able to appoint a VP, who could pardon him. It would be highly unlikely that a new VP would be installed before January 20. In theory, I believe Bush could pardon Cheney, resign, and then Cheney could pardon Bush.

Of course, this is a pretty unlikely conspiracy theory.

Pardon Bush for what? What has Bush been charged with? A pardon isn't a generic get-out-of-jail-free card that can be applied to any future conviction.

I am doubtful that Bush and Co. will ever be seriously charged with anything, but if it does happen, it is very smart to wait until they are all out of power first, for exactly this reason.

Your party is being punished for the last 8 years of no labor at all. Asleep at the wheel at the Crawfish Ranch when warned bin Ladin determined to attack America. Asleep when Katrina was going to hit ..... Elder Bush had the Air Force ready BEFORE Hurricane Andrew hit ditto Nixon before Camielle. And all the other disasters of the Bush-Cheney years. No one is punishing YOU but your GOP party is being punished by the AMERICAN VOTERS who you don't recognize as Americans because you hate America (except for white Republicans).

America did not lose. Just your candidate. There will be an election in 2 years and another 2 years after that. Get over it. Your sentiment may not be bad but your words are just a tad hyperbolic. This is "war." "Destruction" of America. That's why I said grow up. I'm not telling you to grow up because your candidate lost. People invest a lot in elections and it some times it hurts when your guy loses. And believe it or not, individualism did not lost in this election.

In theory yes, but Highly unlikely. I really don't believe that Obama/Biden will go after Bush/Chaney. The history books really hate tainted presidencies. With that said, Bush has already done enough harm. The last thing we will see is 2/almost 3 impeached presidents in 30 years. Not to say that Bush/Chaney don't deserve to see justice.

 
TheDaymoose 2008-11-09 06:04:30 PM  
That's not how the presidential pardon works.

He can pardon anyone he wants to for no reason and before anything is charged. Bush will likely pardon his entire cabinet, Cheney, staff of the executive office of the president, and then fade into obscurity playing golf and shooting stuff with Cheney.

Nobody is going to jail unless the ICJ gets involved AND someone mistakenly goes to the wrong country. Pisses you off, doesn't it?

 
Corn_Fed 2008-11-09 06:04:58 PM  
Uhhh...I think there has to be an actual criminal charge for there to be a pardon.

No charges have been (yet) legally filed against Dubya or Cheney. Therefore, no pardon is necessary or applicable.

I doubt a blanket pardon would withstand a court challenge. Especially not an OBAMA SUPREME COURT (WOO HOOOOO!!!!!!)

This isn't anarchy, this is an organized country run by the collective people. Individualism has no place in a democracy, you must have the majority to make a decision, thus you need people like you. If you are by yourself, you are a minority and thus have very little power.

/Unless that individual has most of the money.

If Obama and the Democratic Congress want to spend the next few years waging political show trials, they are blowing the opportunity to lead they have finally been given.

Ken Starr is having a good chuckle at that...

There is a difference between a 'show trial' and a criminal trial.

We'll let the activist judges sort out which is which.

 
Funk Brothers 2008-11-09 06:10:36 PM  
I will tell you all, Bush and Cheney make sure their won't be an America for Obama to take his oath of office. The heroes (Bush and Cheney) will make America be the ruthless country ever to step forth on Earth. Kissinger will not stand to see Obama become president. Americans must submit authority from the likes of Republicans instead of Obamacrats.
