"One day after granting a pardon to Brooklyn developer Isaac Toussie,
President Bush revoked it, a step experts say is certainly rare and possibly
unprecedented."
[
Toussie, one of 19 people Bush pardoned on Tuesday, pleaded guilty in 2003 to
defrauding the federal government and Suffolk County in mortgage and
price-inflation schemes. He and his father Robert, among the largest landowners
on Long Island, are accused of selling shoddy homes at inflated prices, largely
to minorities, in an ongoing class-action lawsuit involving 400 families.
Yesterday, the White House said the President is revoking Toussie's pardon, at
least in part because of news reports revealing that his father gave over
$28,000 to the Republican National Committee just months before the pardon
petition.
The White House counsel recommended the pardon to the President.
]
Will they be giving back the $28,000?
And HOW can they UNDO a pardon?
If he pardon's SureShot, himself, Rumsfeld & crew can Obama now undo it?

Maybe their check bounced???
Maybe we shouldn't be too quick to criticize Bush for actually trying to
correct one of his screw-ups, albeit a minor one, for once. The
result is more important than the motivation.
