Will Bush pardon Ken Lay after he loses the election ? Who Else?

[Fla Dem]

A lot was made of Clinton's Presidential pardons. Wonder who Bush will pardon.

1. Question: Can he pardon himself?

I guess he would have to admit responsiblity for something first though

3. When Ford pardoned Nixon, he left it vague...

...and made it for any crimes he "may have" committed.

2. Cheney, Rumsfeld

for sure.

4. look for

Condi, Dickie, Rummie, Wolfie all to get pardons ...

followed by CEOs of major fortune 500 companies, drug company lobbyists...

[Fla Dem]

5. Oh Yeah, and Rove too for the Plame incident. n/t

7. Himself, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz...

but Kerry will turn them over to the International Criminal Court.

A pResidental pardon will NOT get them out of here:


This is why the ICC scares the neocons so much!!

8. can he pardon someone preemptively?

i dont think so.

9. Has Ken Lay been found quilty of anything???

[SoCalDem]

11. He would have to be convicted and sentenced, wouldn't he?

I think pardons are for people serving sentenced, or who have served them, and yet still want to "clear their names"..

In the internet era, clearing your name is IMPOSSIBLE though :)
