Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has called President Bush's commutation of Scooter Libby's sentence, a "crime against the Constitution."
Either Jackson doesn't know how to read or he never read the Constitution. Please see Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution.
It explicitly says that the President "shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."
In the case of Scooter Libby, Bush thought jail time was an unfitting and overly harsh punishment. He has full Constitutional authority to do what he did. Other Presidents have given similar reprieves and pardons.
Someone please teach Jesse Jackson Jr. how to read or show him a copy of the Constitution.
