    Obama: Plame Lawsuit Should Not Be Reconsidered By Supreme Court

    Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington:

    CREW learned today that the Obama administration is opposing our request that the Supreme Court reconsider the dismissal of the lawsuit, Wilson v. Libby, et al. In that case, the district court had dismissed the claims of Joe and Valerie Wilson against former Vice President Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby and Richard Armitage for their gross violations of the Wilsons' constitutional rights.

    Agreeing with the Bush administration, the Obama Justice Department argues the Wilsons have no legitimate grounds to sue. It is surprising that the first time the Obama administration has been required to take a public position on this matter, the administration is so closely aligning itself with the Bush administration's views.[/rquoter]

    It's not surprising at all if you understand the legal issues by which they made this determination.

    craptastic article once again. Taking the same position regarding a legal decision doesn't mean that are taking the same "VIEW" as the Bush administration.

    Don't you remember when Obama campaigned on reversing the US government position with respect to the extension of Bivens claims to a remedial scheme in the context of an Equal Protection challenge and its application to a qualified immunity defense?

    That's what all the HOPE for his entire candidacy was based on.

    Not even Obama can get behind this libpig fantasy...

    But what we are seeing is that now that Obama has access to information, we are seeing him line up with the Bush Administration more and more... rendering his campaign rhetoric a joke... which the informed among us already knew.

    it was last updated September 8, 2008

    looks like he pretty much conceded to an Obama presidency at the time

    no use wasting time updating it knowing they'll lose

    Will we ever let the Plame blame game go?

    I confess. I outed her. She broke a spy date with me and I was irritated. My temper got the best of me, and I spilled the beans using my covert telephone.

    Just take note to who bumped the thread.

    Personally, if people are willing to let a felon walk, who am I to argue?

    This thread makes me happy -- a simple reminder of when the wheels came completely off the team bush bus.

    Drat. Deep down I just knew it. What a two-timing, double-crossing tramp. She's was an inny and I'm glad she's now an outy.

    Mistakenly and intentionally are not synonyms.
