What will Bushco do between 11/2 and 1/20/05 if Kerry wins

[kohodog]

The ususal lame duck dance with a few pardons, or will there be an evenr that causes martial law and a postponent of the transfer? I certainly wouldn't put it past them.

1. Drink heavily and sign pardons n/t

[Mabus]

12. Too bad for most of them

you have to be convicted of the crime before the pardon can be handed out. They better hurry up those trials for DeLay, Kenny Boy, Cheney, Rummy, etc.

[MADem]

21. No, see CAP WEINBERGER

Indicted, hadn't even gone to trial, Poppy pardoned him to keep him from singing.

[yardwork]

2. Rip and tear and run the shredders day and night

Steal lots of things and pardon everybody in sight.

[clydefrand]

3. I think he's gonna cry a lot! And maybe realize the failure that

he is and the mess he's left this country in. Maybe...he'll just go away quietly and we'll never have to see his smirky, arrogant face again.

[Rjnerd]

4. Run the shredders until the motors burn out... -nt-

[Longhorn]

5. I think he'll make an out-of-session Supreme Court nomination.

One last parting shot.

[liberalitch]

11. I was just gonna say... PACK THE COURT!

[KC21304]

14. I'm not sure he can do that. Being a recess appointment, it would

only be good until the next Congress takes over anyway. Also, I don't think this Court wants to get involved with anymore Bush shenanigans. They are so tainted now.

[Longhorn]

17. He can do it and that would give him almost a year, at least from what

I've read here. The Supreme Court can do a lot of damage in a year!

[KC21304]

22. Recess appointments are valid until the next Congress

takes office which would be Jan 5.

The Supreme Court now has 2 cases pending before it on the question of Bush's recess appointments to lower courts. That would make for a real kettle of fish if a Supreme Court Justice who was appointed in recess is asked to rule on Presidential recess appointments.


I've found different answers on Google. I guess if Bush made the appointment before Jan 5 it would last only until Jan 5, but if he waited until after the new Congress took office on Jan 5, then the appointment would last until the end of that Congressional term.
I think.

6. He'll spend a lot of time

in Crawford, break out in boils, clear brush, and sulking around like a 10-year old who got cut from the school baseball team. Cheney will be in Washington shredding every piece of paper he can get his hands on.

[Spiffarino]

7. Everybody who could do them harm

...will get a pardon.

Poppy will get one for Iran-Contra. Rove will get one for the Plame outing. Laura will get one for that prostitution arrest in Midland in '66

Oh wait...I meant SOME SAY Laura did that last thing. :bounce:

[GeorgeBushytail]

8. Look for scapegoats

[KC21304]

9. Clear brush until the damn place is bare and then start on the

hacienda, being that was just for show anyway.

[PATRICK]

10. Pardons and plenary indulgences

for sins not yet committed. Appointments. Directives selling all governments assets, gutting regulations.

Clear brush at Crawford.

Look into prospects of being Baseball Commissioner to remove the Red Sox from professional leagues. Set up more pitfalls for Kerry.

Clear brush at Crawford.

Get to know daughters again in congenial settings of bars and discos. Fire Colin Powell. Fire Rove. Cry on Cheney's shoulder every Friday.

Clear brush at Crawford.

Start building the presidential library with a small Lego kit. Start reading the Bible to see what he missed. Get Orson Card to work on his autobiography. Give interview to David Frost to place the blame on Clinton.

Clear brush at Crawford.

Arrange a ticker tape parade of shredded documents through whatever city ion America where he wins 90% of the vote.

Hire environmentalists to plant more shrubs and trees at his ranch.

Get stone raving plastered.

[kohodog]

13. yes, alcohol poisoning would be fitting.

Seriously, I worry that he will strike the nuclear facility in Iran and declare that the transfer of power has to wait.

Halloween is tomorrow and the tinfoil got into my tooth fillings!

[grasswire]

15. set all kinds of booby traps...

....for Kerry, like his father did for Clinton. Plant moles like Linda Tripp, too.

[greenbriar]

16. Kill himself???

sigh...I wish

[OneTwentyoNine]

18. Blame Bill Clinton.......

[Shopaholic]

19. Don't you mean they will blame

Bill Clinton's dick????

[LibDemAlways]

20. I think they'll be too busy

filing election-related lawsuits to do anything else. I can't see them giving up power without a huge fight. Kerry may even need law enforcement assistance to remove the chimp from the WH in January.
