I hope you are right, but I think the Constitution would take precedence over any subsequent statute in the case of the President and his absolute power to grant pardons. Unless and until there is a specific ruling by the Supreme Court; and WHO is going to bring the suit against His ex-Royal Heiny? Bush? O'Reilly? Susan McDougal? Larry Klayman? Maybe NY State might have a case re the Rich pardon, but Guiliani and the rest of the prosecutors don't stand a chance in Lib Land currently. Especially since the Bush admin. just wants him to go away, as we all do (to Levenworth hopefully). It just ain't gonna happen. I'm afraid it is a case of another lesson learned the hard way. I still believe the only solution is a Constitutional Amendment to restrict the POTUS's pardons to oversight by either the Senate, House, or an independent (meaning not appointed by the Admin.) panel of some sort.
