"One day after granting a pardon to Brooklyn developer Isaac Toussie,
President Bush revoked it, a step experts say is certainly rare and possibly
unprecedented."
[
Toussie, one of 19 people Bush pardoned on Tuesday, pleaded guilty in 2003 to
defrauding the federal government and Suffolk County in mortgage and
price-inflation schemes. He and his father Robert, among the largest landowners
on Long Island, are accused of selling shoddy homes at inflated prices, largely
to minorities, in an ongoing class-action lawsuit involving 400 families.

Yesterday, the White House said the President is revoking Toussie's pardon, at
least in part because of news reports revealing that his father gave over
$28,000 to the Republican National Committee just months before the pardon
petition.

The White House counsel recommended the pardon to the President.

Will they be giving back the $28,000?

And HOW can they UNDO a pardon?
If he pardon's SureShot, himself, Rumsfeld & crew can Obama now undo it?

Maybe their check bounced???
Maybe we shouldn't be too quick to criticize Bush for actually trying to
correct one of his screw-ups, albeit a minor one, for once. The
result is more important than the motivation.

It's a process.
Can he unscramble eggs too?

It happens all the time in the legal system. At the last minute,
rulings, plea deals, etc. fall through after they are reached or
announced, but before they become official.

Personally, I think Bush might have a bit of trouble scrambling eggs in
the first place. But he'd have no trouble breaking them; he's good at
breaking things.
