Is a former President entitled to Secret Service protection in prison?

[Thor_MN]

Would his SS detail have to guard him if convicted of treason?

1. my guess is yes

is secret service protection required or optional after leaving office?

2. He'll be pardoned the same as Nixon was.

Kerry will do it to try to bring the country back together, which would be more important than giving Bushco what he deserves.

6. The only way Shrub is going to prison is if he wins in Nov. and the

Dems retake the house and senate! I don't know how possible that is!

I sure don't want Shrub to win, but if sonehow he does, I sure hope the Dems can retake both houses. At least it would neutralize him, and prevent him from doing much damage anywhere.

Then the can draw up a bill of impeachment.

3. good question

i guess that is one more reason to-

[LiberalFighter]

4. Of course not

That would also be a demeaning job for the SS if they were given that detail.

5. Aren't traitors shot or hanged?

Think that's what happend to the Rosenbergs and they didn't do as much damage (if any at all, depending on what information you believe) as the bushco junta has done
