Going back to the time of President Grant (who granted a lot od dubious pardons), this has been a sore spot with a lot of politicians. The President has the right to grant pardons as he sees fit. Merits or demerits of the case are just not a factor.The public has no say in it, and the inputs of others are strictly advisory. Someday the law might change but for now its a Presidential Perk. Jerome The President ALSO has the right to push "thee button" to start a nuclear war. That doesn't mean that he doesn't have a duty to his country to use his power wisely. Daryll40
