If Bush is allowed to get away with this blanket pardon, then we are in fact a country of men, not of laws; a country where if you are the man in power, you set the table and invite who you want to dine with you. This is in fact what this country is, so this will be the final nail in the coffin of the notion that no one is above the law. If you are rich and powerful, you may in fact get away with murder, plunder, etc. If you aren't, then you get the hammer. That ultimately is why the Dems won't do anything, because now they have the power and they want to wield it free of any threats of retribution or justice from the law.
