Once again, I wonder IF 1: we are familiar with the provisions in the Indian Constitution.
2: we know of the difference between the Presidential Power of Pardon and the Partisan decision NOT to prosecute. 3: we know HOW the process of Presidential Pardons works ......and IF the President is PERSONALLY required to VET the files of individuals RECOMMENDED for pardon. 4: we are familiar with the legal process involved with the Prosecution of criminal cases. 5: if we are happy being partisan SYCOPHANTS who parrot "talking points" without engaging our brains. jc On Jun 23, 2012, at 10:51 PM, "U.
