Will Harriet Miers vote to overturn Bush’s conspiracy conviction?
THERE WON'T BE A "CONSPIRACY CONVICTION" BUT ITS GOOD TO HAVE GOALS
Will Harriet Miers vote to overturn Bush’s conspiracy conviction?
Harvey Wasserman
October 4, 2005
An angry groundswell has risen against the appointment of George W. Bush’s personal attorney to the US Supreme Court.
One key question must be asked: as a Justice, would she soon be asked to rule on a conspiracy conviction against her present boss?
In light of the new indictments against former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, the question may not be so far fetched.
DeLay was originally indicted on charges of violating campaign finance law. His lawyers have quickly raised serious technical challenges.
But now two additional charges have been filed by a second grand jury. Conspiracy is involved, taking things to a whole other level, including the possibility of jail time.
The prospect of “The Hammer” duck-walking in orange polyester to a Texas prison cell may warm progressive hearts everywhere. But there’s a much deeper message here about the case of Valerie Plame.
