Nothing would give me more joy. I only wish they'd wait until January so Bush wouldn't have the opportunity to save his ass...

Re: toasty

isnt there a few ways that congress and US supreme can get around a pardon?

Re: toasty

that would be news to me. I thought a presidential pardon/commutation was one of those few truly unchecked powers.

Re: toasty

i would think that there is at least one way.... i mean, he could be spiteful enough to pardon a mass murderer. eh....

Re: toasty

I'm not holding myself out as an authority on this and have never really looked into it, but I really don't think there is. If there was a way around it, I assume it would have come up for discussion, at least amongst the punditry, after Scooter Libby's sentence was commuted.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, though.

Re: toasty

i coulodnt tell you one way or another. but i think rove in prison would send a message to our representatives, that unlike the last 16 years, you guys will be kept in check.

Re: toasty

I highly doubt Rove is going to jail.. just my opinion.. I wish that crooked fucker would be sent to jail.
