Just to observe, the position of AG is a political position that gives legal support to the administration it serves. Mr. Fitzgerald would NOT fit those requirements well.

However, the post of Solicitor General, which traditionally was politically neutral and represented the interests of apolitical government with the Supreme Court would certainly fit Mr. Fitzgerald’s reputation. The post was once refered to as the 10th Justice on the strength of integrity of the tradition as the SC followed the commendations of the SG’s office.

Unfortunately the Reagan administration obliterated the post and reduced it to a political hack job, terminating a hundred plus decades of tradition. The New Yorkers of 1987 have a three issue article by a Lincoln xxxx (the name excapes me and my reference is packed away in the process of moving – sorry – many like New Yorker articles were so like todays excellence in blogging, precursors in print). To have been exposed to the New Yorker all my life has been an untold blessing. There are resources there in the (NYer) that give excellent contemporanious reporting of complex(ious) and nefarious carry-on by the executive administration.

IANAL but in the comments in these posts somewhere, someone observed that the power to issue pardons ceased if the president was under impeachment proceedings. If this is so, it is imperitive that such start immediately. That ought to leave Libby, Libby, Libby, hanging, hanging, hanging, in the breeze, in the breeze, in the breeze – oughten it? Just how difficult would it be to investigate the spectrum of maladminsitration until the term is expired and still not return to senate for trial. It might be the leash needed to put some manners on the administration. Please enlighten as curiosity is eating me alive. All the best…….

amazing brilliance and finally vindication.

the trolls are very very quiet

and hissing like deflating

week old balloons.

Oh. Are they talking about ‘moving forward’ already? Marvelous. It’s like the day or two after the Amish children were shot down one of the msm’s ‘newswomen’ asked one of the parents, ‘have you been able to move on yet?’
How different from the former u.s. intelligence officer is vietnam I once heard interviewed on cbc radio. He had found the private writings of a n.vietnamese field physician. He was so impressed that after the war he and his brother (also a vietnamese speaking intell. officer) returned papers to her parents who ‘emotionally’ adopted both men. He was full of grief and horror at what the u.s.a. had done to the vietnamese. ‘we burned them, we butchered them…’ he said. AND HE SAID ‘closure is a dirty word to me. I never want to forget what we did to those beautiful people.’
