This was all over our local radio show in Austin today. It is appalling that they are in prison and the illegal criminal goes free.

Does Congress really have the power to pardon? How does it work? Like any other Bill?

Rep. Royce did say that this "would probably force some action from the WH" (or words to that effect).
BTW, he is my former wonderful congressman before my district got stuck with Loretta Sanchez's equally horrible sister, Linda. Ugh

I don't believe I heard him give one. If it helps, the principal sponsor is Duncan Hunter and the co-sponsor Ed Royce.

Not many if any dimocRATS will sign on to this.

This paragraph from the other thread just put up caught my eye:
"Rep. Duncan Hunter, a California Republican, introduced a bill Thursday calling for a congressional pardon of the agents. Congress has never issued pardons to anyone convicted of a crime, said Joe Kasper, Hunter's spokesman. But Kasper said Hunter believes there is enough ambiguity in the law on pardons to give it a try."

Nice one. But will it face a Presidential veto?If he did his approval would sink to less than 10%.
