    Talk About A Bad Draw!

    Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame have run into a bit of bad luck in their lawsuit against Cheney, Scooter Libby, Karl Rove, and ten random Republicans. I took another peek at the complaint and noticed something that I had missed earlier -- the judge assigned to the case. Wilson and Plame drew Judge John D. Bates -- and a quick glance at his rulings will no doubt have the Left fuming.

    For instance, Judge Bates ruled in January 2005 that Michael Newdow would suffer no harm if the President said a prayer at his inauguration. Newdow, most known for using his (non-custodial) child as a means to attack the Pledge of Allegiance, lost his bid to enact a prior restraint on the President's speech at his own inauguration simply because Newdow planned to attend.

    If that doesn't get the Democratic Underground in a fury, they may instead recall their anger when Judge Bates told Congress that they had no standing to sue for access to the records of Cheney's energy task force. Relying on "the restricted role of the Article III courts in our cons utional system of government," Bates denied the request of the GAO, spurred on by Democrats who disliked the energy plan pushed by the White House. The judge ruled that the separation of powers and executive privilege meant that Cheney could consult with advisors to formulate policy without producing records of the meeting to Congress.

    It gets even better, or worse, depending on one's point of view. Judge Bates received an appointment earlier this year to the FISA Court, the secret panel that reviews warrant requests for national-security investigations. He replaced Judge James Robertson, who resigned in protest against the Bush administration's bypass of the FISA Court on the NSA terrorist surveillance program. How sympathetic will Judge Bates be to a lawsuit from someone who leaked misinformation after getting sent on an assignment by his wife?

    And, , if that doesn't do it for Wilson supporters, his work as one of Kenneth Starr's staff during his independent-counsel investigation of Bill Clinton should force them into apoplexy.

    How long will it take before the Left starts screaming "CONSPIRACY"? Faster than the Wilsons can file a disqualification motion with the court, I would imagine.

    Go ahead, if it makes you feel better.

    Then, get back to the issue of the thread.

    1) Joe Wilson is a liar, and probably worse;

    2) Valerie Plame wasn't a covert agent as defined in the statute in question, and is as bad as her husband; and,

    3) This lawsuit is a ploy to extend their fifteen minutes.

    I think we've identified the children.

    When have I ever lied about it? I've already posted in the past that many of my posts aren't original.

    I link to factual content. I avoid the typical trashing the messenger by not linking to the various sites where I steal the opinion -- the opinion with which I agree, by the way. Why spend time re-inventing the wheel? This isn't a revenue source for me...why the would I spend a great deal of time re-writing an already well-worded opinion? Seriously, where's the value in being original in this forum? That's a ing waste of time.

    Why don't you deal with the content and offer a differing view? I don't care where you come up with it so long as you're consistent -- actually, I don't even care about that.

    So, according to Joe Wilson, Iraq did seek quan ies of yellowcake uranium from Niger. And, Valerie Plame wasn't a covert agent as defined in the statute they keep claiming was violated. Yes or no?
