What division? The "let's hasten the Armageddon division"? That single fact explains so much. And I feel compelled to repeat: wow.Ron Davisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11972794876337195698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13075276.post-57362228431935079742007-03-28T09:23:00.000-04:002007-03-28T09:23:00.000-04:00I think you have properly cited your sources. As ...I think you have properly cited your sources. As an aside, the "law" of attribution in law school is to use Harvard's "The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation."<BR/><BR/>Thomas raises an interesting point that I had vaguely thought about when I heard about her refusal to testify.<BR/><BR/>Politics aside, anyone who is investigated needs to be aware of the fact that prosecuters use whatever they can find to get leverage. Scooter Libby is an example. His crime was lying about what he said and when he said it, or as he put it having a bad memory.<BR/><BR/>A few years back the Fulton County Prosecuter charged Ray Lewis, an NFL player with murder here in Atlanta. When the day came to try him they didn't have much (any) evidence. He entered a plea to lying to a detective about who had bought a knife that had nothing to do with the murder.<BR/><BR/>With respect to the lawyerette's refusal to testify, all the committee has to do is give her limited immunity. That trumps the Fifth Amendment. If they really are serious about investigating what happened, and not on a witch hunt for low level players, that is what they will do, but probably after they play her refusal for all the political points it is worth.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411527807049220749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13075276.post-16495109623044066082007-03-28T08:19:00.000-04:002007-03-28T08:19:00.000-04:00I think it's interesting that she claims to be tak...I think it's interesting that she claims to be taking the fifth not for crimes she has committed, but for crimes she <I>might</I> commit.<BR/><BR/>She <I>might</I> lie and commit perjury, so she's taking the fifth to protect heself from herself.<BR/><BR/>If this is allowed to stand, it will make subpeonas kind of useless, won't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
