1. Good luck with that!

[orleans]

2. jeez...now what? "emergency order"? is that gonna fly? n/t

[Raven]

3. This was predictable. Libby's lawyers would be sued for

malpractice if they didn't appeal. It won't go anywhere.

[Geoff R. Casavant]

6. How true.

I know from experience that sometimes you have to go through the motions, even though you know you will be shot down.

[Solly Mack]

4. To give them time to speak with Bush?

[Pithy Cherub]

5. Is Libby's mental health

in that bad of shape? the issue here has less to do with Scooter Libby, and all to do with protecting Cheney. Cheney is the once-removed protectee as it seems the thought of serving just one day may break Libby's will. Libby must be Paris Hilton fragile as he goes through the process. The prosecutors certainly are not going to mind if Libby wants to tell them things to avoid jail, but Team Libby is going to exhaust every avenue and legal bread crumb meanwhile.

C'mon Libby, suck it up like Martha Stewart.:crazy:

7. Expect to hear about Libby's serious health problems at any minute now.

Oh, didn't you know that he has very very serious health problems that will prevent him from going to jail? /sarcasm

[Me.]

8. A Stay Of Execution?

Perhaps they've forgotten they're dealing the the * administration.

:rofl:

9. Who will they appeal it to, the judge has already said NO>

[Snotcicles]

10. Like crying MOM nt

[Bluebear]

11. What "emergency"? nt

[gollygee]

12. Does not wanting to go to jail constitute an emergency?
