"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?
According to Bush/Cheney the Executive has absolute power.

If he pardon's SureShot, himself, Rumsfeld & crew can Obama
now undo it?
Absolute power would indeed grant that power to Obama.

I think Cliff hit the nail on the head. Bush, the stupid ****,
gave up his absolute right to a self-imposed pardon with this
cover up. Problem is that Osama won't use the power.

He probably just hadn't signed or filed the paperwork yet. While a
decision to pardon is reversible, an actual pardon is not.
Otherwise it would merely be a parole.

Presidential pardons can and have been reversed.

Really? That's news me. got a cite hardy? I'd like to learn more.

Jeff

Lets compare the ethics of two presidential pardons. Rich was pardoned
by Clinton after he cheated the USA out of 250 million in taxes. Later,
Rich made campaign contributions to Hillary. Bush pardons this guy and
then finds he contributed $25,000 to the RNC and rescinds the pardon.
Who is more ethical?
Are Dems even capable of reasoning?


Point, set and match.

Yeah, the Republicans are cheaper to bribe than Democrats.

Nobody won and society loses in either case.
