I just read it in the Constitution. My review took 20 seconds.

Another ASS in Congress. Like they have nothing better to do.
Well......now that I think about it, the more time they spend on this kind of thing, the less time they have to rape me and my wallet.

Just like he did right after Clinton pardoned all those donors to his library, the FALN terrorists, and his drug dealing brother.

Apparently John Conyers is either: (A) calling for a Constitutional Convention or (B) an idiot.

Okay, this is where House Republicans show what they’re made of and turn this on Clinton. Actually, both Clintons.

Well, unless Conyers can prove that somebody PAID President Bush to commute Libby’s sentence, the good congressman can go pound sand because there’s not a thing he can do about it.

Of course, Marc Rich DID pay Clinton for his pardon, but I’m fairly certain that won’t interest Conyers at all.

Let me guess. He didn’t call for a review after Clinton pardoned tax dodgers, his brother, terrorists and other assorted undesirables. Am I right? Rhetorical question of course.

I’d say it’s time to FReep the phone lines again ... we need action on energy, tort reform and social security ... NOT this partisan crap.

I’m eagerly awaiting seeing Denise Rich bring her cancelled checks [made out to Democrats] before the committe. They could have a bonfire.

I demand a full review of Washington’s pardoning of the leaders of the Whiskey Rebellion. Conyers is probably old enough to remember it.

Rep. John Conyers Vows Full Review of Presidential Pardon Power Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Conyers is a guy who was too lazy to look at the evidence in the Impeachment Trial of Bill Clinton.

He admitted in interviews to not having reviewed pieces of evidence and/or expressed general ignorance regarding them.

Now all of the sudden he is the world's greatest investigator on presidential pardons.

Ed Koch Predicts Push to Impeach Bush(Surprise...surprise.)
NewsMax.com ^ | Nov. 8, 2006 | Ed Koch

Posted on 11/08/2006 4:00:51 PM PST by kellynla

Some congressional leaders will push for President Bush’s impeachment now that the Democrats have taken control of the House and possibly the Senate, former New York Mayor Ed Koch predicts.

“I expect that [Rep. John] Conyers as chairman [of the House Judiciary Committee], now with great freedom, will do anything he can to commence such impeachment or investigatory activity, and we’ll see whether Pelosi will prevent it,” Koch says.

Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in line to become the first female speaker of the House of Representatives in U.S. history, has said that impeachment proceedings against Bush are “off the table,” according to a report in The Washington Post.
With the resounding Democratic victory on Tuesday, however, Conyers, D-Mich., is set to take over the chairmanship of the House Judiciary Committee.

Earlier this summer, Conyers issued a 350-page “investigative report” on the Bush administration that was widely viewed as a road map for Bush’s impeachment if the Democrats took control of the House. Conyers charged that the Bush administration had violated “approximately 26 laws and regulations.”

The Judiciary Committee would initiate any impeachment proceeding.

If Conyers were able to use his chairmanship to launch an impeachment investigation of Bush, Koch warns, the effect would be “devastating.”

“The reason I supported, and still support, President Bush with respect to foreign policy on the issue of international terrorism is that I believe that it is an extraordinary threat to the U.S.,” Koch tells NewsMax. “And I regret that too many in the Democratic Party don’t appreciate the danger.”

Beyond impeachment, Koch sees another worrisome outcome following on the heels of the midterm election results: gridlock. “Gridlock is not good for nations,” he says.
“I hope the two parties and their leadership sit down and work on compromises on their philosophy. I happen to be very supportive of the domestic agenda of the Democratic Party, and supportive of the foreign affairs agenda of President Bush. I don’t agree with the president on a single domestic issue,” Koch says.

Koch adds that he looks “for changes that are dramatic in the domestic area.”

“I hope they’re able to work out some reasonable approach to Iraq, obviously different from what we have currently,” he says. “The nation is for a change in direction.”

The Presidential Pardon is categorical and final. A President could pardon every single felon in prison and there is no recourse, except to impeach and convict his ass out of Office in record time.

They are wasting a lot of taxpayer money but that’s OK. The more of this they do, the worse they look.

Besides, while they are busy looking for whatever little mole hill they can find to make a mountain out of, they won’t be able to put their SOCIALIST actions into practice.

They can keep this crap up until the next election. Then we will see just how many people in this country catch on to their idiocy.

>>”Yes, we’re going to review all of them, including Clinton’s, Bush one, Bush two, we’ll go back as far as they want,” Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., said in an exclusive interview with FOX News Radio. Conyers added that the Nixon pardon would also be covered in the review.<<

>>a perfect waste of taxpayer dollars......<<

I don’t know... if it actually gets committee chairmen to read the constitution maybe it would be worth it.
