On November 24th, 2008, President Bush granted 14 pardons - particularly customary for an out-going President - bringing to total 171 pardons and 8 commutations he has granted since he took office in 2000.
This isn't a knock on President Bush. I simply wish to question the constitutionality of the law that allows a man - any man - to reverse the course of justice, usurping the People's moral authority and judgement because his preferences take precedence over the harm caused to the criminal's victims. That none where murderers is irrelevant.
My guess is that there are no statutes to formally prevent a President from granting pardons or commutations of sentences. But I think there outta be, don't you?
