I hope you're right on that.

Questions for FR lawyers:

1. If the president has pardoned you, can you still appeal your conviction?

2. If not, if the president has only commuted your sentence (not given a pardon), can you still appeal your conviction?

I think this could be relevant in the Scooter Libby case. Have read that Libby has not asked for a pardon.
