THIS COUNTRY CAN SPEND MILLIONS GOING AFTER SCOOTER LIBBY BUT CAN'T SEEM TO FIND MONEY TO SEND ALL THESE MEXICANS HOME WHO ARE MUCH MORE OF A PROBLEM
THAN SCOOTER LIBBY. THINK ABOUT IT????

These threats are coming from the same people who feel that any criticism of GW Bush deserves the death penalty, although they felt free to threaten Clinton with murder during his administration. And after all, couldn't Libby just confess and save his poor wife and kids all that trouble?

Richard,
I can't stop laughing at the "law and order Republicans" comment. I don't think any other administration can claim to be less of a "law and order" in this country's 230 years. I'm sure the right-wing blogs are clamoring over this "activist judge" as I type.

The last time these guys agreed or cared about the rule of law and the court system was when Bush was declared the winner of the 2000 election. Since then, it's been "the ends justify the means," yet there's no "ends" in sight to most of their platforms, like Iraq and the war on terror. Until they're removed from office, god-willing in 2008, we'll have illegal wire-taps, outing of CIA agents and other political retribution.

Libby saw what he and his cronies did to Valerie Plame and her family. I'm sure he's got skeletons in his closet (we all do), so jail for 30 months is better than turning his back on the wolves that would rip him and his family to shreds if he actually came clean. Plus Bush will pardon him in 18 months for throwing himself on the gernade that was this whole incident.

So the law and order Republicans threaten a judge who jails one of them.
Yet another opportunity to be proud to be an American.
