Reply #17: Actually, I think there may be enough time. [View All]

My best advice to you and others worried about pardons and stuff: Try not to dwell on it. I think it's best not to worry and stress so much about things you don't want to happen or else it will only attract those things. Like the more the negativity you pour into it, the more it increases the likelihood.

My advice: Try to envision a scenario where we force Congress to start impeachment hearings. Impeachment prevents pardons and forces testimony from insiders.

There may actually be enough time for such a scenario as, say: 1. Cheney steps down for health reasons. 2. Bush appoints Fred Thompson as VP. 3. Bush resigns. 4. Thompson takes over and appoints Colin Powell VP and they're the caretakers until Jan. 20. There's always this: Bush and Cheney both resign together and Pelosi takes over until Jan. 20.

While even I admit it's unlikely, by the same token, it isn't impossible. I hardly try to tell people around here to think positive anymore. Mainly because I too often get viciously attacked for it. God forbid any of us have hope. :eyes:
