When Kerry wins in November,
Bush issues pardons for the whole lying bunch, resigns Jan 2nd and is in turn pardoned by President (Shiver!!!) Cheney.

Can a Presidential Pardon be reversed or rescinded?

2. No
and he needn't resign to receive a pardon. A president can pardon himself.

3. Yes, if the pardon is issued to cover criminal acts``
It will take... a lot poltiical capital to do this though, and it could be seen as an open declaration of war to the right.

This is the same kind of problem you have with Impeachment.

Should Bush be impeached? YES...

Why hasn't he? Who controls what will answer this question

4. Why pardon someone who has NOT performed criminal acts?
Are we about to see the birth of the pre-emptive pardon?

7. Papa Bush pulled that stunt 12 years ago
Are we about to see the birth of the pre-emptive pardon? --rocknation

This has been done in 1992, when Bush I pardoned all his criminal cohorts before they were even charged with a crime, let alone convicted of one.

5. The more likely scenario is that they let Iraq erupt into a full blown
civil war so that Kerry can deal with it.

6. And He Will
And Kerry will win in November. I just feel that so many in this country want a change from the moron occupying the White House now.
