Emptywheel sounds the warning:
How appropriate that Robert Bork would weigh in on the Libby
conviction to assert that Fitzgerald’s appointment might not be constitutional. Over thirty years later and he’s still trying to fire the guy investigating the Republican Administration.
Mind you, Bork is not alone. Vikram Amar, Randy Barnett, Alan Dershowitz, Viet Dinh, Douglas Kmiec, Gary Lawson, Earl Maltz, Thomas Merrill, Robert Nagel, Richard Parker, and Robert Pushaw. Some interesting in names in that list, from a fwe good liberals, to architects of unitary executive, to Dershowitz, who served as such a nice liberal voice justifying torture.
The worst of the worst. Read the whole post for the legal arguments, which are beyond my ability to summarize. But here’s the bottom line:
Bork is not just trying to get Fitzgerald fired. He’s trying to get the next Special Counsel—the one investigating BushCo constitutional violations—fired.
Bingo. No doubt the Libby slush, er, defense fund will help them with their funding, eh? Read more
