I hope that President Bush will go ahead and pardon Mr. Libby. With Mr. Libby having already spent so much of his time and money, and now facing incarceration, it's hard for me to see any justification for waiting any longer for appeal to the judicial branch. Let the executive use its prerogative and pardon him.
Why should Libby be pardoned? He committed perjury, just like Clinton did, so let his suffer the consequences. I don’t see the slightest support for giving him a pardon from my fellow conservatives and don’t believe “the base” really finds this to be an issue.
