So who did Bush end up pardoning anyway?

[rah]

It comes down to "YO" vs "YOUR" the first is acceptable the second is not.


And yes, I can't believe I actually responded to that one.

[Winston]

Real low class.

I agree. You should move to delete the last handful of posts you made.

[Lefty Scaevola]

I was completely surprised there weren't more pardons. I can only guess that Bush knew Democrats would be to pussyfooted to actually call him on his crimes.

It might have more to do with him having good legal advice about the crimes you imagine, and you being a complete ignoramus on the subject of law.

[rah]

I agree. You should move to delete the last handful of posts you made.

Gee, good thing i don't really care what you think.

[Straybow]

[rah] Whether it be a few fun pardons or getting a little head. I just think he shouldn't have lied about, and when asked, should have answered "sure I did, what's your point" That would have kept him out of trouble.

With everyone except Hillary, so I guess that tells you who had him by the nads.

[Winston]

Gee, good thing i don't really care what you think.

Hmm. Is that why you decided to reply to my observation?

Really, you're completely out of line with your back-stabbing comments against Ben Kenobi, who's not even here. And with nothing to back it up, 'cause you "don't remember" which thread it was in. Aren't you a swell guy to have in charge of regulating other people's behaviour.

[rah]

hey, he's lucky, he insulted my wife and I didn't ban him. And how can you say back-stabbing? It's not like I'm hiding it. He posted in this thread and has even responded to my comments so it's not like he's not going to see it. And I haven't been saying something nice about him else where, so how you determine that it's back-stabbing is beyond me.

And you were the one that put yourself in the middle by responding in something that's not really your concern, so why should I care what you think about it.

And he knows what he did and where he did it. I'm not going to put a spot light on it anymore than I already have.

So please leave it alone since it's not your concern.

[Winston]

Fine.

But it is my concern, as well as that of others, how you carry yourself on this board since you're a moderator.

Let's just say I hope you'll be able to make better choices in the future than what you've demonstrated in this thread.

Not that you would care, I imagine..

[rah]

At least you're smart enough to make me the target and not my family.
And I'll stand by my choices in this thread. I'm sure you've always been a saint.

The man insulted my wife. He doesn't get dignity in return. And if he ever does it again he will never post here again, and every other owner/mod will back me up on it.

SO no it is not your concern.

The news said in 8 years, Bush pardon only 23 people. If you notice Bush did not pardon S. Libby

[DaShi]

A former Texas governer pardoning people? Are we in bizarro world?

[mrmitchell]

Some dude that supplied Israel with airplanes to fight off the arab armies, lol.

ANYONE

[Lefty Scaevola]

A former Texas governor pardoning people? Are we in bizarro world?

Yep, Texas governors do not get much practice pardoning, because they do not have pardon power. The power is in the Board of Pardons and paroles, and all* the the governor gets to do is either approve or veto the Boards action.


*with the exception of a one time per capital prisoner 30 day delay of execution that he can do on his own.

[chequita guevara]

Didn't Bush sneak in some legislation months ago preemptively pardoning his torturers in case of future trials? I seem to remember something like that being brought up on Poly. In which case, Bush just plans ahead with his pardons. Pity he couldn't plan ahead in any other respect.

Yes, he did.

In 2008 they also passed a bill granting retroactive immunity for telecom companies that cooperated in warrantless wiretapping, which Obama interestingly voted for. I guess we can expect some more of those shenanigans in our hopeychangey future.
