Liberals don't like Bush's pardons, cons didn't like Clinton's, time for a change?

Why not amend the constitution to remove the pardon power from the President and give it to a special panel nominated by the President, but confirmed by the House? The majority party would get one extra seat, no matter the actual number split.

I think this would alieviate most of the problems with the presidential pardons, like covering up administration crimes, while still leaving a ray of hope for the unjustly convicted.

Should Tipper Gore Have Been Worrying About Al the 3rd's Dope Use Rather Than Trying To Censor Music Lyrics?

While Tipper was out trying to shut the music industry down with her censorship...young Al Gore the 3rd was getting stoned and selling drugs. That is the inconvienent truth.

Does Rush Limbaugh really run America?

Especially with the FINAL (?) defeat of that lousy so-called "Immigration Bill," some in the "major media" have accused Rush, and others in the "Talk Radio" genre of "running" American politics.

Do you agree? Why/Why not? What sort of influence does he/do they have on American politics?

Did President Bush do the right thing when he commuted the jail sentence of Scooter Libby?

Did President Bush perform an immoral act by commuting Libby's sentence. Or, did he simply right a wrong.

Regardless of what the Constitution says, obviously pardons can be abuses i.e. President Clinton. Please don't respond when something similar to: "The Constitution gives him the power, so its OK." Everyone knows the Constitution gives the President the power to pardon/commute. My question is: Was it the right thing or wrong thing to do in the case of Scooter Libby?

Teflon Libertarian Ron Paul opposes women's right to choose. What do you have to say now?

Since when does a libertarian advocate the "right" of the state to interfere in personal choices of people about what they do with their own bodies?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1860939/posts

"Ultimately, Paul said he wants to see the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade and make it a state issue again, where state legislatures are free to pass abortion bans."

What is so bad about not saying the pledge?

I don't pledge allegiance to the flag because I believe it contradicts my religious beliefs. But in this question I asked earlier, I recieved a few negative responses for not believing in the pledge.

Why did Hillary refuse to speak out against the Iraq war BEFORE it became popular to do so?

She supported the war for years AFTER her vote. War mongers should like that. Anti-Iraq war types (myself) should not.

What ever happened to that 850 mile fence that was suppose to be built?

If my memory serves me right, the bill was passed in October requiring the government to build an 850 mile fence across the southern US boarder.

Why hasn't it been built?

I recall conservatives bragging their asses off for like 4 months about how Bush is successful and how a fence was going to be built. It hasn't been built yet. Someone explain...

565 Bush days left : What do you think of a president who wore a radio transceiver under a suite jacket?

During political debates. You have seen the photos.
I think its the only way he would have managed a live televised debate. We have given him such a pass all through his two pResidencies.
