Pardon? Get your kicks on Route '66 (that's 1866)

He can't do any more, so here is Wikipedia's list of the people George W. Bush has pardoned, or whose sentences he has commuted.

Perhaps the smart thing to have done would have been to charge the entire American financial establishment and pardon them. *

Still, if he listens to the Village Voice, President Obama now has the chance to pardon Bush and Cheney.

* Perhaps unnecessary. The VV article quoted above says an 1866 Supreme Court ruling means you don't even have to be charged to be pardoned.

No forgiveness?

This is not the only turkey hoping for a pardon. Watch for the last-minute ones.

Just asking

A propos the (I would say) criminal systematic financial looting of past years:

1. Is there any limit in scope or number to the pardon/s of a retiring US President?

2. Can an incoming President challenge or reverse any such pardon?

P.S. If Thomas J. DiLorenzo is right, perhaps the pardons should be made retrospective right back to 1781, just to be on the safe side.
