Re: "All presidents pardon people on the way out," Yep. "... but the next one will pardon people on the way in." Silly. You can't just change the meaning of the plain and simple word 'pardon' to mean whatever you want it to. A 'pardon' (in law...) is the exemption of a convicted person from the penalties of an offense or crime by the power of the executor of the laws. It's even a bit of a stretch (in the eyes of some) to call what jl supports (the preemptive pardoning of people before they are even charged with any offense) a 'pardon', at least in the traditional sense of the word.
