Court winks at basic-rights assault; who's next? (Plames lash out after being laughed out of court)
Santa Fe New Mexican ^ | 07/02/2009 | Valerie lame and Joe Wilson

(T)he Supreme Court denied the review of a lawsuit brought by Valerie Plame Wilson and Joseph Wilson, ending the quest for redress of their constitutional rights. The Court's decision reflects the trend toward closing the door on any recourse for a citizen who has been injured by federal officials. The Court's message is clear: federal officials can use their publicly funded positions to attack political adversaries without consequence.

Now that their spurious, politically-motivated lawsuit against Bush officials has been kicked out of court, the Plames claim to be Everyman, looking out for poor you and me.

The two leftist pixies need to go back to drinking latte at the local Starbucks in Santa Fe. Their “15 minutes” IS OVER!

As someone who regularly represents the right-wing victims of federal oppression, I can testify that the law more and more regards federal officials as utterly unaccountable to ordinary citizens for anything. Down that path does not lie a Free Republic.

I would only amend your post to: Remember when the People’s Republic of Santa Fe didn’t blow?

Check how they write about themselves in the third person. Wonder who wrote it? George Soros?

What was hysterical was that their initial claim was that just knowing her name was a leak, and Who’s Who had her name prior to the supposed ‘outing’.
Good to hear that they got laughed at.

Huh?

&&&&&&&&&

By Valerie Plame Wilson
and Joe Wilson

Last week, in an unsurprising but still disappointing decision, the Supreme Court denied the review of a lawsuit brought by Valerie Plame Wilson and Joseph Wilson, ending the quest for redress of their constitutional rights.

&&&&&&&

The Santa Fe New Mexican allows its Op-Ed contributors to discuss themselves and their legal problems in the third person?

How completely bizarre.

You are right, of course. Allow us, if you will, our fifteens minute of middle-school gloating about these two particular losers in court....

“the law more and more regards federal officials as utterly unaccountable to ordinary citizens for anything.”

Truly troubling. However, their Op-Ed is so convoluted on the legal issues that it would appear that THEIR claim was highly questionable. Thus, the Supremes wouldn’t hear it.

Scooter Libby is the one who should be crying , not these two butt wipes.

I wish Scooter could sue Colon Powell, for not telling the truth.

You know, it’s very possible that these two yoyos think of themselves and their fictitious little melodrama in the third person.

Which is weird, but they have proven themselves to be a couple of fruitcakes.

Exactly. We would have to see the case to know what really happened, and what precedents may or may not have been set/denied.

someone once analyzed lying and found that lying takes many more words than telling the truth. So no wonder this article was unreadable.
