Greedy Trial Lawyer
Friends In High Places (a.k.a. Supreme Court Justices) Should Serve Scooter Well

Maybe the Scooter Libby case should have been tried before the Supreme Court in the first place. Based on the Bush v. Gore decision I think Scooter would have received a Medal of Honor.
Libby in Court to Try to Stall Sentence
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby is headed back to court to try to forestall his 2 1/2-year prison term in the CIA leak case.Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, planned to ask a federal judge Thursday to put the sentence on hold while he appeals his perjury and obstruction conviction.
If they lose Thursday, Libby's lawyers have said they will ask an appeals court for an emergency order delaying the sentence. Because one of the issues in the appeal is whether Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald had the authority to charge Libby, defense lawyers also could ask the Supreme Court to step in.
