Agree with your Devil's Advocate thesis and their potential behind the scenes effectiveness. However, if they're lead prosecuting counsels and they lose, the Obama administration takes another punch to the gut and they're doubled over already. I'm operating on my thesis that what used to be called cynical is now an accurate gauge of what's real. Stay in Touch. Hi Peter.

The House Ethics Panel just ruled that 7 Congressmen don't have ethics conflicts passing legislation that would benefit clients of lobbyists who contributed to their campaigns. The DOJ just excused Yoo and Bybee. Should I go on? We're in an ethical mess... where very few ethics abusers are actually being punished for their breaches. I would, think, if anything, these DOJ hires would, at the least, be able to point out, from a "Devil's Advocate" point of view, where certain cases are lacking, or where the DOJ can help make cases appeal-proof. Maybe these hires aren't going to be trying terrorism cases, but maybe their experience might be good in the civil rights/EEOC area of DOJ, areas that were plundered and staffed with Liberty University ideologues by the last administration.

So, for "appearance sake" any lawyer who parties at the White House under the guise of working for Justice, should pick and choose only "Pro-America" cases. I see. Basically, toss out the Constitution as being a conflict of interest document. You must be taking Rush meds. First of all, the complete stupidity of not having these lunatics tried in a military tribunal escapes me. The simple answer, if there is such a thing, is to treat them as enemy combatants, cause - duh... aint that what they are!?!?!?!?! Now, as for you, LK... STEP AWAY FROM FOX NEWS, buy a bottle of whiskey, and pretend that we actually have a functional government. It works! I sleep well dreaming of a Super Obama settling all the ills of the world. Yes, I wake up with a shock, miserable that it was only a dream, and angry as ever at the gridlock, tea parties, insurance companies, et al., but I DO sleep. Hey, LK... you think this is bad, wait til the big one - Sarah vs Hillary!!!! Whoa, my penis just shrunk like it was dipped in a cold pool! LK, you blockhead!
