Look, if Billy-Bob Clinton can pardon Mark Rich, Bush can pardon Scooter Libby and that's that.
Besides, look at the facts, Libby didn't do anything and neither did Cheney really Dems just had to do something to save face.

Funny, because NOW Bush claims his authority to pardon Libby comes from the Constitution.“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”
“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”
“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”
