"Widespread pardons have been done in the past. George Washington pardoned the conspirators of the Whiskey Rebellion. Andrew Johnson pardoned Confederate soldiers. Jimmy Carter pardoned Vietnam War draft dodgers.
The criticism would be enormous, but what does Bush have to lose? He is at the end of his political career. His approval ratings cannot drop much lower. The criteria that history will judge him by has already been set. With that in mind, the scenario exists for Bush to issue a blanket pardon."
