No Pardons?

Did the other shoe not drop?

I have an unsettled feeling about this.

Late Update: I’m wondering about this pardon issue too. But there’s an interesting, possibly messy, new dimension. Remember, former President Bush has gone on record with the claim that pardons can be revoked if they have not yet been ‘executed’ by the pardon attorney and delivered to the recipients. So if there were any pardons dropped at say 11:59 AM, by that reasoning Obama would be able to pull them back. — jmm.
