Here's an obscure piece of information from a few months back that seems to be going unnoticed by most....let's go back to the 1990's when Paula Jones took on President Clinton and the Supreme court decided she could sue him while he was still in office. (talk about Activist Judges!)
In 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court said in a unanimous ruling that neither Clinton “or any other official has an immunity that extends beyond the scope of any action taken in an official capacity.”Anyway, now that same precedent will be used to get Cheney et al to have to testify in the Valerie Plame outing case while they're still serving in office...Ha! The worm may indeed be turning!
PR A lawyer plans to use a legal precedent that allowed President Bill Clinton to be sued while in office to force Vice President Dick Cheney and presidential adviser Karl Rove to testify in a lawsuit brought by former CIA operative Valerie Plame and her husband.
California attorney Joseph Cotchett said he will ask a federal court to order Cheney, his ex-chief of staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby and Rove to testify in depositions about their role in disclosing her classified status.
