Let’s hope they don’t accidentally pardon Richard Armitage in Libby’s place.

Certainly if W allowed that crooked SOB Berger to run around free its the least he could do for the GOP.

Damn straight, Mr. President. That’s a fine start to a new week, month and quarter.

Excellent! Just heard it on the Schnitt Show. This is good news and the right thing to do.
To Hell with MSM, they are going to go nuts over this!

As long as the border agents are serving hard time, then I do not agree with this commutation.

Well, this is good and keeps the man out of jail, but it does not remove the conviction:
commutation of sentence: In criminal law, reduction of a sentence for a criminal act by action of the executive head of the government. Like pardon pardon, in law, exemption from punishment for a criminal conviction granted by the grace of the executive of a government. Commutation of sentence is a matter of grace, not of right; it is distinguished from pardon, however, in that the conviction of crime is not nullified. The commutation, hence, may be granted on condition that the criminal observe certain restrictions for the balance of his original sentence. Many states have statutes providing for commutation of sentence as a reward for good conduct during imprisonment. Once earned, the commutation becomes a matter of right and may be enforced by court action.
Perhaps this will allow the appeal to go on without jail time. At the end of the appeal process, the President could still pardon him and remove the convistion.

it’s not enough. Scooter still has a criminal record and has to pay the fine and stay on probation. He should pardon him and give him his old job back.

Watch President Bush's ratings go up and Congress continue to go down.
When the appeals process goes through, I have a hunch the same thing that happened to Nifong, might just happen to Fitzfong!!!!
To: ConservativeMan55
YEAH!!!!! I am so happy....wish he had done more but I think he will before he leaves office. The fine, etc.

It is BS that this was not a pardon!
To: ConservativeMan55
I was hoping the president would give Libby a "respite of sentence." (Not sure if that's the correct term.)
As I understood it, the effect of a "respite of sentence" would be that Libby could stay out of jail until his appeals process was finished (and I hope his conviction reversed).
Seemed to me the most "conservative" thing for Bush to do -- to give Libby a chance to be fully exonerated.
So I'll be surprised if the announcement is something that goes farther than that ... but I'm prepared to be surprised.
