"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.


No I don't. But there's this search engine called Google and if you use
it you can find loads of them. Like this one -

Presidents can revoke pardons and commutations issued by other presidents
as well as ones they issued themselves.
