So, let me see if I can review the bidding here. Your working hypothesis is:
1. The feds, at the direction of Obama & Co., are going to figure out a way to charge Holmes with federal crimes, including, perhaps, "terrorism" charges.
2. Having done that, the feds will somehow convince/browbeat the Colorado authorities into not bringing any state murder or attempted murder charges against Holmes, so that
3. If/after Holmes is convicted of the federal charges brought against him, Obama can then turn around and pardon him?
Is that pretty much where your, um, thinking has taken you, to this point? Uh . . . okay.
And people used to talk about "Bush Derangement Syndrome." Sheesh.
I was commenting on the comment that this would never go federal because it was solely a state issue. My point was never think this administration would be above doing anything. Would you have imagined any President using executive orders to wipe away current laws, especially popular ones?
