agree on that and I am still waiting for a few of our fellow FReepers to sing in here with how damn stupid we are for banging on bush for not giving these two agents a pardon. for the life of me I can’t understand how they can support compean and ramos remaining in prison.

Toussie, 36, was sentenced to five months in prison and a $10,000 fine on Sept. 22, 2003, as well as three years of supervised released conditioned on five months of home detention ...

sounds like he already got his "pardon" when he was sentenced.

He served his time..what's the point??

Can the POTUS retract such a thing? I never heard of that, before.

Only $25,000? Bill Clinton got a $450,000 contribution for his Presidential library.

so i guess the moral of the story is.. if you want a pardon don’t contribute and don’t have your family contribute any money to the people in power...

thats for all u seeking pardons...

Issac is the son of prominent real estate developer Robert Toussie.

I wonder how much in campaign contributions the elder Toussie has given to the Bush family over the years. I suggest the conservative media get on this before the liberal media does.

Can this administration get nothing right?

It can get things right and has, but way too often it hasn't.

I don't think he can. It seems blatantly unconstitutional to me. The only thing I can think of is that it hadn't yet become official somehow. And also that the guy is still hoping for something, so he doesn't want to challenge it in court. He's the one with standing to do so, so if he doesn't challenge the revocation, it won't matter if the president technically can't do it.

Prolly the border agents are just greeting the illegal border crossers with a smile and a wave and passing out a “Welcome to America” brochure (in Spanish of course) with a list of tips, where to go for various free services, and a reminder to be sure and register to vote — citizenship is not a requirement.

Oops, I really need to start reading the freaking articles:

A story in the New York Daily News said Toussie's father, Robert, donated $28,500 to the national Republican Party in April. It was his first political donation and came just months before Toussie's pardon petition, the newspaper said

When is a Presidential pardon final? Only when he leaves office?

On a brighter note, can we still rescind Obama’s election?

Since the President signed the pardon, I would think that makes it official.

I don’t think he can legally change his mind after that.

If so, how long does he have? Days? Weeks? Years?

It’s a done deal, isn’t it?

Yeah, sort of like putting the bullet back in the gun.

Hmm. Maybe he can revoke it, because it was not yet final. Check out this.

Drop the R. I did after Super Tuesday. I knew for sure they no longer represent me and I don’t have to defend them anymore.
