Yes they will now comment and I can give you the comment right now…
“This is old news; we’re focusing on the future.”

Then why were Nazi’s held accountable for killing Jews, they were exactly only doing their official duties so they shouldn’t have been held accountable.
When is this stupid stuff going to end?

Government employees who engage in questionable acts, such as abusing prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay facility or engaging in defamatory speech, cannot be held individually liable if they are carrying out official duties, the court said.

“The conduct, then, was in the defendants’ scope of employment regardless of whether it was unlawful or contrary to the national security of the United States,” Appeals Court Chief Judge David Sentelle wrote in the opinion.

This is the direct opposite of what the judges ruled at the Nuremberg Trials. There they held that “just following orders” did not exonerate the crime. Just recently Hamdan (Osama bin Laden’s driver) was found guilty. These two decisions could not be more opposite, which means they are political rather than judicial decisions.

TREASON:*

noun
1. a crime that undermines the offender’s government
2. disloyalty by virtue of subversive behavior
3. an act of deliberate betrayal

*unless you’re the President or Vice President of the U.S.A.
(fixed for the 21st Century)

.

So it’s not TREASON when the Vice President of the U.S.A outs a covert CIA agent? Just Richard B. Cheney or ANY V.P.?

What we have, AMERICA, is a call to WAKE UP!

Courts have ruled, High Officials are exempt from the Law.
Why have a President and Vice President at all if their scope of employment grants them the power to be above the law, ignore law at will or choice, reinterpret the intent of the law, and write and dictate the law?

Q U E S T I O N:
What does DICTATORSHIP mean then?

“The conduct, then, was in the defendants’ scope of employment regardless of whether it was unlawful or contrary to the national security of the United States.”

Q U E S T I O N:
Then where is that threshold which limits the conduct of the defendant’s scope that renders it an illegal act?

.

What will be the White House’s excuse once there are no more cases pending?

By that time a new Administration will be in the White House.
Hopefully they will pursue an investigation into this and other matters of the People’s Business…

… Starting with where the heck the furniture in Pelosi’s Office disappeared to, especially staring with the “Tables”.

“The treason, then, was in the defendants’ scope of employment regardless of whether it was unlawful or contrary to the national security of the United States.”

Not just “scope of employment”. It was in their farkin’ job description (see “Updates” here)

Cheers,

“The treason, then, was in the defendants’ scope of employment regardless of whether it was unlawful or contrary to the national security of the United States.”

What would be the reason that they would?

“The conduct, then, was in the defendants’ scope of employment regardless of whether it was unlawful or contrary to the national security of the United States,” Appeals Court Chief Judge David Sentelle wrote in the opinion.

Federalist Society darling David Sentelle knows what to do: Parrot the Michael Mukasey School of Law jurisprudence: If the preznit (or Cheney or a Rethuglican) says to do it, it’s not illegal. They don’t even pretend any more. They’re into resurrecting Nixon “big time” (as Nixon’s aide Ctheney would say). What they’re saying is “We are ‘the law’, whatcha gonna do about it?”

Where’s the pitch-fork? And the buckets of tar and feathers?

Cheers,

The conduct, then, was in the defendants’ scope of employment regardless of whether it was unlawful or contrary to the national security of the United States

This misadministration has corrupted EVERY level of our government. Our only hope is that President Obama is going to purge these heathens, prosicute the criminals justly, and restore the rule of LAW.
