"One day after granting a pardon to Brooklyn developer Isaac

[
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.

True, the result was most excellent. Bush created a precedent for future
Presidents to overturn his midnight 19 January 2009 pardons.
