Despite Bush figuratively flipping the Judicial branch and the American people (represented by the jury) the finger with this move, the neoconservative attack dogs and talking heads were out in full force yesterday bringing up Clinton and his pardons.
I think we need to remind them that Clinton and what the other 40+ presidents have done has nothing to do with this case. It's a red herring on the part of the Neocons who know they cannot defend what Bush has done, which is indirectly committing obstruction of justice.
We shouldn't be surprised. Bush has shown time and time again that he has no respect for the other branches of government, the rule of law or the opinion on the American people, who are against the commutation, according to the polls.
And the Dems will huff and puff but will refuse to blow Bush's house of cards down.
