Couldn’t they be satisfied with simply losing sixteen minutes? The ones in which they were speaking in German while wearing swastikas (I have seen those old brownshirt photos and I swear I have seen Karl Rove in them…multiple times.

Do you realize it is entirely possible that the judge may dismiss all charges due to prosecutorial misconduct?

Comment by Briseadh na Faire â€” March 10, 2007 @ 3:06 pm

And the prosecutors will be immune from criminal or civil punishment. That’s not a balanced system and it’s one of the reasons I consider the entire legal system corrupt from top to bottom and back up to the top again!!

Judges are corrupt, lawyers are corrupt, law makers are corrupt. There is no rule of law left in the USA. If Abu Gonzales is the AG then I’m not obeying the law — just like him!!

Bluestocking, #32, I agree that the administration would like to have been able to convict Padilla of something, but I think it’s worth it to them to forego that satisfaction if we will allow their activities to be swept under the rug. In Padilla’s shoes, I would be very concerned about a freak accident.

And may I say Babs that I like you so much better here than I did when you were, and I use the term loosely, First Lady.

The ordinary remedy in court would be to dismiss all charges against Padilla, and that is exactly what the administration wants, isnâ€™t it? — chartreuse dog

*************************************************

Actually, I would be inclined to dispute that — I would be inclined to argue that what the administration not only wants but needs is for Padilla to be convicted of something, anything. A dismissal of the charges against Padilla would be tantamount to admitting that Padilla is not accused of having committed any crime — which would mean that the US government had no grounds for detaining him for over two years without access to legal counsel and allegedly subjecting him to cruel and unusual punishment in violation of his Constitutional rights as a US citizen. I find it almost impossible to believe (or at least, I certainly don’t want to believe) that the American people have fallen so far and become so utterly apathetic and complacent that the US government would be allowed to sweep their treatment of Padilla under the rug without some sort of legal and/or political hue and cry. They cannot afford to let Padilla out of their clutches at this point — because my feeling is that if he were ever to get his freedom, his case could potentially break the administration wide open (unless they bribed him to keep his mouth shut).

Congress has the exclusive right under the Constitution to impeach and try the president and vice president for “high crimes and misdemeanors”. Punishment is limited to removal from office. The Constitution does not, however, limit liability for breach of state or federal laws. These crimes simply have to be taken up in the appropriate courts. Karl Rove’s retirement project will be to keep prosecutors from finding enough to act.
