Every day the Senate is looking more and more like a Monty Python skit and less like a governing body.

wow, I guess someone in the senate figured out they do not have the authority to tell him who he can pardon and not pardon.

Congress can't tell a President whom to pardon or not. Its an executive prerogative beyond legislative review. And its also a violation of the clear separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches of the federal government.

Not that it matter to them, but I didnt think they had the power to change the congressional record.

But there's no record of the 47-49 vote in the daily record of congressional proceedings — or anywhere else. It was an unvote by an uncongress.

Bush should call a prime time press conference and SELL Scooter a pardon for $20 and use the 20 to send out for pizza, and tell every demokkkrat in the world to go **** themselves.

"If the Senate has decided to go into debating the appropriateness of future pardons, there is plenty of material to go around on past pardons," said Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the minority leader. Read about this in another article, which had more detail.
McConnell then "proceeded to maneuver the Senate clerk into reading off the laundry list of Clinton administration pardons, including those of Marc Rich and others." It referred to Harry Reid getting "Mitchslapped."
