example- the immunity issue, brought up at the end of the last post. Do Cheney and the others have absolute constitutional immunity from suit, like the President? No, of course not, that was the May decision. Do they have immunity from liability for any actions undertaken as part of their official duties under the Federal Tort Claims Act? Yes, they do, and that was the July decision.

It’s like his claims that “criminal charges” are coming out of the wiretap allegations. They’re not just wrong, they’re idiotic.

They’re all going down.

Oh – and Congress has the power to impeach the AG, Lurkboy. Gonzales will be gone before the end of April.

The skilled liar Ms. Rice may think declining to appear is a cute appeal to the lunatic right – but subpoenas – from “sub” – under and “poena” penalty – have teeth.

If she doesn’t want to get dragged into Congress in a orange jumpsuit – she will comply.

By October, over 60% of Americans will be demanding Bush’s impeachment.

Monica Goodling will provide flesh and blood testimony about her boss – the slimey Alberto Gonzales:

A federal judge immunized the former White House Liaison to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales Friday morning, protecting her from prosecution on a limited basis for testimony she may give to Congress on the firing of US Attorneys.

Monica Goodling is a critical witness to this ongoing investigation and we look forward to hearing her testimony as promptly as possible.

Thomas Hogan, the federal district judge who issued the order, said Goodling could no longer claim testifying would result in self-incrimination. Monica Goodling may not refuse to testify, and may not refuse to provide other information, when compelled to do so

Speaking of political smears . . .

a Federal judge has ruled against Dick the Errant Shotgunner Cheney, Lewis Libby, Karl Rove and Richard Amritage, finding that the multi-million dollars lawsuit filed by Valerie Plame may go forward.

Lawyers for the traitorous CIA agent outing Bush Administration employees had asked to court to rule that they were immune for their acts as government officials, but Judge John Bates has ruled that only the president possesses unique immunity, and therefore the case may proceed. The lawsuit accuses Cheney, Rove, Libby and Armitage of revealing Valerie Wilson’s secret CIA identity in seeking revenge against Wilson for criticizing the Bush administration’s motives in Iraq.

A natiion of inquiring minds looks forward to Cheney, Libby and Rove under oath in a civil courtroom.

How’s that, DC?

What a putz.

So that’s where soothie’s been hiding!!!

When one singular poster here draws more attention in threads than the blog owner himself, and that poster for the most part just posts talking points with little backup something is amiss.

I don’t desire an echo chamber, but Soothie is well documented as being a less than worthy debate participant.

I view that person as spam.

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
Kos’s Kidz are playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there’s no joy within the Beltway–Joe and Valerie have struck out.

If Plame’s case against CIA gets tossed out, then both of these two cases would help convince more of the American Public to realize that they’ve been had by the Democrats and that Libby got screwed by Fitz, Walton, and the jury.

Valerie Plame, whose name launched a federal investigation into who leaked her identity to the press and netted Scooter Libby in a tangled web of contradictions leading to his conviction of perjury and obstruction of justice charges (and commuted by …..

In short the downside totally canceled out any potential upside.
