Pardon power and lawsuit power

Over at TPM Café, the Bush pardon power in the Plame case, if indictments from Patrick Fitzgerald is high enough, are under discussion.

But, that then removes the handcuffs from Plame and Wilson on the lawsuit power.

Can a President be sued for acts committed while in office? Well, we’d find out soon enough.
