WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney's long-time chief of staff, Lewis Libby, who resigned last week after being indicted in a CIA leak investigation, is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Thursday for an arraignment, a court official said on Monday.

Libby, indicted on charges of obstructing justice, perjury and making false statements, is expected to enter a plea of not guilty. The federal judge chosen to handle Libby's case, Reggie Walton, also could set a schedule for the filing of motions, and possibly a trial date.

1. Oh yea, baby! Here we go!

2. Libby gets his day in court, but did the 2026 dead Americans?

Those who died because of this traitorous administration may never get justice for the lies that bu$hco told to get us into this.

3. Will there be a mug shot and, if so, will he scowl or smile? n/t

4. Oh happy day! n/t

5. This is the type of thing

that will create significant pressure for Scooter. Before last Friday, this mess was something that was annoying, even stressful. But it was something that he hoped an attorney could handle for him. Now it's Scooter facing Fitzgerald, man to man. And Fitzgerald has exposed Scooter as a liar in a very public way. Fitzgerald has made clear that Scooter has to go to prison now. This court date will be difficult for Scooter.

6. So Thursday would not be the day Fitz' unseals Rove's Indictment

I know I can't move on.

7. Wonder how that will feel for Scoot? Ace attny, top govt official,

world of limos, red carpets. Now sitting on the other side of the aisle in a court room.

8. Different? n/t

9. Something tells me that the MSM will be covering this a little bit more

than Scalito.

[No Exit]

10. I hope there's a throng of noisy reporters outside, but

of course Cowboy Irving will get special treatment and either he'll be smuggled in through the judges' secure underground parking bunker (all federal courthouses have something similar), or Bush fascist goons will keep the reporters hemmed in a mile away.

11. Let's keep this KICKED !!!!
