Bork

Scooter pardon campaign just a warmup for a fight against impeaching Bush

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.
