The big test will come when George W. Bush arranges forhis own pardon. It will, I believe, take one of two forms:
A flat out pardon written by George w. Bush, for George w. Bush.
On January 19, 2009, a full pardon forDick C~heney, followed by a resignation by Geroge W. Bush, swearing in of DickCheney and a full pardon ofgeorge w.Bush by President Cheney.
My betting is on the second one because it involves no possiblity of constitutional challenge and because it would appeal to Bush/Cheney due to its blatant"stick in the eye" natur to the American people.
And 100% of Conservatives will defend either one of the above, due to their continued allegience to George W. Bush.
Of course congress can still have the last word because it can call private citizen Bush to testify of what he knows, with not invoking of theFifth Amendment. What is unfortunate is that Ex-President Bush would fight it and just refuse to testify. and he can count on continued 100% loyalty of Congressional Republicans, forever.
