The Supreme Court announced Monday it will not give further consideration to a lawsuit brought by a fired CIA agent and her husband against high ranking Bush administration officials, including former Vice President Dick Cheney.
The decision is a victory for Cheney and his former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove, and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage. They and nine unnamed co-defendants were sued by Valerie Plame Wilson and her husband Joseph after her CIA cover was leaked to reporters.

Joe and Valerie WHO?
Haven’t seen or heard of them much in the new hopie chnage administration.
Useful tools who served their purpose...
Good screw her and her lying husband. The two of them were in it together and obviously violated their duties to the CIA in order to press their left wing agenda.
I notice they haven’t gotten jobs from Obama either. At least not yet. You would never want them working for you they are scum.
I don't recall that she was fired. Do I misremember?
PAGING - Chrissy Matthews & David Schuster please pick up the white courtesy phone...........
Nope. "Freudenschade" was a term used by a DUmmie at Democratic Underground a couple years ago when William Rivers Pitt wrote that Karl Rove would be indicted within 24 hours. I picked it up on a thread by PJ-Comix about that DU thread, and it's been used ever since. In fact I created this graphic (below) at the time...
So when is the Government going to sue Plame for return of her government pay earned while running a DNC campaign office from the CIA?
Actually she had been, long long ago - IIRC she was one of the many outed by Aldrich Ames, who is still stealing oxygen.
Now Plame will write a book, do the talk show circuit, tell a bunch of crap, and Cheney and Libby will still be convicted in the court of public opinion. /shakeshead
Need your WooHoo graffic!
Read the referenced article:
Monday's ruling by the Supreme Court, made as usual without comment, leaves the lower court rulings in place.
I’m glad there is finally closure and that all three courts slapped Plame down. I really hope they spent a bunch of money in the process.
If she wasn't, she should have been.
Valerie's cover story was that she was an analyst for the CIA
working at the Langley Virgina CIA Headquarters.
hahahaha
Plame who? No one, evidently.
Yes, exactly. That was my first thought. By refusing to hear the case, rather than reversing the lower court decisions, SCOTUS has effectively left that crook Fitz's work in place. So, Plame doesn't get her money, but Scooter was still found guilty by a kangaroo court, a crooked judge, and an admittedly biased jury, and only partly relieved by Bush.
So, it's not a further victory for Plame and her fellow liars, but it's not a defeat for the propagandists who are using her. And Cheney is still the goat, even though he was never even brought to trial.
Can Cheney, Libby and Rove turn around and sue these fraud artists?
She leaked her covert status to her future husband on their third date.
Wonder how many other boyfriends she told she was an undercover spy.
Fitzgerald had “issues” with Scooter Libby over the Marc Rich pardon. Libby was Rich’s lawyer and Fitzgerald was mightily steamed when Clinton pardoned him.
Although Fitzgerald is a Democrat, he was nominated by Peter Fitzgerald (a conservative/libertarian) US Senator from Illinois because of his generally non-partisan behavior. My best guess is that Fitz suffers from overzealous prosecution complex (i.e., wanting to justify his position) rather than raw partisanship.
For the sake of further irony, guess who took Peter Fitzgerald’s Senate seat after he declined to run again. Yup, it was The Won.
