No more pardons

By GottaLaff

MSNBC is reporting no more pardons are expected from soon-to-be-EX-President [sic] Bush.

If this is accurate, then the door has just been opened for (hopefully) future investigations to result in possible prison time. Am I right, legal minds out there?

UPDATE:

President Bush, in his last full day in the White House, commuted the sentences of Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, who are in prison for shooting an unarmed Mexican drug smuggler.

The case of Ramos and Compean was initially a cause célèbre for conservatives who favor tight border security. However, other lawmakers have picked up their cause and applied pressure on the Bush administration to pardon them or at least commute the 11- and 12-year prison sentences.
