President Elmer Fudd appoints Tasmanian Devil to a federal judgeship. Taz is a miserable failure as a judge, slobbering on the bench, eating briefs, and generally failing to carry out his duties with any degree of competence whatsoever. The House initiates impeachment proceedings against Taz. President Fudd grants Taz a full pardon covering any impeachable offenses. Is the pardon valid?
