Thanks

The Obama administration’s representative before the Supreme Court, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, had also sought the dismissal of the civil suit. Kagan argued that the Wilsons had no legitimate ground to sue and further argued that Ambassador Wilson failed to prove that he was harmed by the attacks he endured from Cheney and others for accusing the Bush administration of twisting prewar Iraq intelligence.

That was not the first time Obama’s Justice Department has backed the Bush administration’s position on issues related to the CIA leak case.

Let’s take a wild guess could it be the blackest sellout of the bunch, Justice Clarence “Uncle Tom” Thomas.

I don’t see how any blame for these SCOTUS decisions can be laid on the Obama Administration. The Obama Administration can not control SCOTUS rulings/decisions.

You sound like you’re looking for a forum for self-disclosure…AA is down the hall…No, I don’t care what you presume to ‘think’, please do not reply…

I wonder who the dissenting vote was?

ROBERTS, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which STEVENS, SCALIA, KENNEDY, SOUTER, GINSBURG, BREYER, and ALITO, JJ., joined. THOMAS, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment in part and dissenting in part.

I wonder who the dissenting vote was?

Too bad for Plame/Wilson, can’t say that I’m not surprised.

“In May, the Obama administration also sought the dismissal of a Supreme Court petition that Valerie Plame and Joseph Wilson filed…”

Don’t form a narrow question and expect the answer you want. There are many things not in the constitution that Presidents do. Signing statements come to mind.

Supreme Court into doing what he wants.

So in order to protect national security it’s ok to release a secret agent’s name. President Obama, you failed on this.

How is it president Obama’s fault that the SCOTUS won’t review Mrs. Wilson’s case? Please point out the section of the constitution that grants the president the authority to pressure the supreme court to do what he wants.

You want to play titfortat, go ahead. I want justice.

SCOTUS provides cover for BushCo — doing the job they were chosen to do.

Thanks, Ian. I guess I just don’t trust any “opt out” option in regard to voting rights.
