#10  SAM, I think that the president can only pardon someone who has been convicted. And possibly after the appeals have run out. Of course, that is a normal president, not Obama, who can do anything he wants to, because he won.

#8  True enough - lame duck Obama will throw pardons around like confetti...

Don't pardons have to have some degree of specificity? It's not like he can just hand out blanket pardons or get out of jail free cards.

And, if someone who's been pardoned gets placed under oath and then lies, doesn't the pardon get nullified?

#6  The Trunks should make sure funds are provided for the refurbishing of the John Mitchell wing of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Sorry, Eric, a white boy has already established the precedent, it's not racist.

#5  True enough - lame duck Obama will throw pardons around like confetti if the GOP wins the house senate and presidency in 2016

#4  #3 Impeach his ass. Holder is one disloyal (but not to whom it counts), racist (in some circles, feature, not bug), lawbreaking motherf***er (ibid), and deserves prison time (the plate will be kept spinning until a Presidential pardon becomes useful).
