Oldgold,

bush* very clearly broke that tradition himself when he immediately ordered investigations into Clinton’s pardons, claimed horrible vandalism to the Whitehouse offices and other imagined offenses. I’m afraid that we will be seeing these abuses and damage on a scale far greater than their most preposterous claims against Clinton when they finally evacuate the sinking ship of state they are leaving us.

I hope that November brings the election of someone with respect for justice and the rule of law.

Christy, you were great, as usual, on Sam’s show today. We either have a country of laws or of men. And the current men are thugs, radicals, and heretics. We must all oppose in every way possible.

More politicization: Keith Olbermann, April 3

Number three: Gonzo-gate. It keeps on ruining lives and neutering the Justice Department. Its inspector general is now investigating why last year, Justice did not renew the contract of its own liaison to the U.S. attorneys committee on Native American issues. Leslie Hagen had gotten the highest possible scores on her official job evaluation, the guy would hired her and described as the best qualified person in the nation and Ms. Hagen got fired.

Why? The inspector general is investigating evidence that Monica Goodling, Alberto Gonzales‘ senior counsel, that woman with that law degree she got in by sending 100 box stuff to religious lunatic university. Goodling heard a rumor that Ms. Hagen was a lesbian. And of course, she limited her duties and then, fired her.

Goodling never heard that department‘s name quite right. Justice.

Not injustice, lady. Justice.

Christy: I have been having trouble with the site all week. It is very slow and it is freezing up my computer. Yours is the only site that is causing me this problem. I have been sending emails all week but no one has responded. I read everyday several times per day and try to post sometimes. This past week has been a serious problem for me. Do not know if any one else is having that problem. my email is wnoblejr AT msn.com

Their salaries are such a small proportion of the DOJ budget, not to mention the federal budget, that the next USAG can simply stick them in a closet with one light bulb, no telephone, and make them sit there all day to collect their pay. Some no doubt will, but it’s a hard life, and cdertainly wouldn’t constitute anything close to Mukasey’s definition of torture, or mine, for that matter.

Give them literally nothing to do.

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how you detect whether someone is “filing a brief while gay”?

I suppose it would depend upon how well the briefs were packaged.

(Disclaimer: I know gay stereotypes are verboten, but I advance no negatives in this ‘brief’ reply to a very inviting opening. Augggh! De puns never stop! Oh, the humanity!)

Robyn Blumner was a rare island of sanity when I lived in Florida in the 90s. As the former head of the ACLU there, if she says Kuehne is about integrity, I trust her judgment completely.

My prediction: this indictment will be dropped sometime after the election which it was clearly filed to influence.

Bush and Cheney get their best ideas for justice from their much admired pal, former Soviet spook chief Putin.

More of this is going on in Alabama :

The same United States attorney who prosecuted (Democratic) Governor Siegelman is now after a bunch of (Democratic) legislators.

“There’s a direct link between the Siegelman debacle and what’s going on here,” said one legislator, nervously looking around. Like many, he refused to be quoted by name.

“There’s a fear factor,” another lawmaker said. “It’s kind of scary.”

Absolutely agree with you there. Including the fact that we could use a whole helluva lot more folks like Scott standing up publicly and denouncing what they well know to be abhorrent actions and behaviors. Much, much more.
