Oh geez I forgot about this. The Kenyan is probably going to pardon as many Jihadists as he can and then blame it on Bush.

They will have to ramp up the bureau of engraving and printing to put together the paperwork for the pardons needed for those in his administration and his cronies on his subsidy lists.

Nunn never brought up the subject of race. ... so we will, just because it might be useful to bash something.
She is black, like so many other victims of the federal system's oversize boot.
There - see how that works?

If you have lived clean for a certain period of time your rights should be restored. Even if you are a felon.

Federal drug laws are unconstitutional, period, FReepers supporting them and thereby giving the left cover to abuse the *Interstate* Commerce Clause for regulating everything notwithstanding.
If I were President, I would declare the drug laws as such and pardon all federal simple drug offenses. That’s almost as good as the Supremne Court doing so.

...if you thought over 900 executive orders was over the top in three and a half years, you aint seen nothing yet, watch what Obama does in three months....problem being we wont know.
Not only that but in the 3 months AFTER he loses the election, he will rack up the most pardons in history (including pardoning himself). Since he is NOT a qualified President under the articles of the US Constitution's requirement of citizenship, his EOs as well as all pardons (including his) will be null and void.
I don't expect impeachment will happen during the lame duck secession but I DO expect he will be brought before a court of law after he leaves office and the DOJ under President Romney will rule the imposter-in-chief guilty of high treason. Even if we don't win a majority in the senate, the crime will be so HUGE everything (especially Obamacare) will be struck down.
Folks, this is going to be historic to say the least.

Aren’t the prisoners at Gitmo military prisoners and not subject to the legal system and pardon?
Only a military officer can make the release.

A felon allowed to become a lawyer? And lawyers wonder why they’re so deeply despised by the American people.

Only a military officer can make the release.Or the Secretary of the Navy...the Secretary of Defense...or,well you know.Also,there's a Federal appeals court that deals exclusively with the military (can't recall its name)...I'll bet *they* have the authority as well.

I don’t think the president can pardon someone convicted by a state court.

I dont think the president can pardon someone convicted by a state court. I really hope you are right!
It will be someone that has a huge following with the hippie, liberal college professor/student crowd.
Change my prediction to: Leonard Peltier

That’s right - no pardon for Mumia except from the Gov of Pennsylvania.
