Dear President Bush. Your refusal or your failure or your disinclination to rescind the Clinton illegal pardons will convey the message that when you commit a crime [it] makes all the difference in the world as to its being violation of the law, and as to its qualification as a crime. Yesterday’s crime is not today’s crime because the expediency of the circumstances so dictate. If expediency is of no import then there can be no statute of limitations, no expeditious summons of the accused before a judge, no time limits set on jury impaneling or the validity of witness testimony. Therefore, to ‘move on’ is to say that these impediments have no judicial validity, except in the face of political expediency. Mr. Clinton, and unfortunately I fear you, yourself, sir, place expediency before the law and take of culpability a relativisitic notion. Please reconsider your stance on the matter of the individuals summarily pardoned, without application, without Judicial review, without their pleading a cause for release. Are we citizens not entitled to know why each of the imprisoned felons has, in his judgement, not deserved his sentence? Or is this the first step toward a King’s Court of secret adjudication? I thank you.
