Unfortunately, attorneys are often asked by their politically motivated clients to break the law. This, in the case of the Bush admin, should have been foreseeable to Coffin . . . but working for the WH is a seductive proposition . . . it won't happen to me . . . Unfortunately for Coffin, it happened to him. The best, most honorable solution is to quit. If Cheney were an attorney, Coffin could probably have turned him in to licensing authorities to have him disbarred. Cheney is a rogue.. . not an attorney answerable to any higher power who could slap him silly. . . .heck, he thinks he's as bullet proof as Blackwater. Another good man slimed. Congrats Shannen Coffin.

And please, don't confuse me with Cheney's Coffin because Cheney's Coffin is part of the conspiracy to send our troops off to Iraq only to return to US soil in coffins draped in flags. The coffins that our media refuses to show to the American public because old lady Bush doesn't want to remind us of the real cost of this illegal invasion into Iraq. I want the public to be reminded of the personal cost of this war. That's why I sign my name as: Coffins Draped with Flags. It’s now time to arrest this traitor to the Constitution.
