Someone legally fluent please tell me that this isn’t a make-or-break factor; I SO want her to win!

I’m also hoping that the strain of both trials will give Darth Cheney a heart attack. It would be true poetic justice if he croaked right there in the witness chair at Libby’s trial!

Valerie and Joe are really photogenic – they would shine. And then we could see the neocons stumble and attempt to explain away acts that were clearly treason.

Perhaps once the civil trial begins, Congress will be ready to do something like IMPEACH.
