Drum Roll!!!! Alberto Gonzales!!! Negative news coverage may have cost former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales his job, but it won him a dubious honor Wednesday from a magazine published by the American Bar Association: Lawyer of the Year. Additionally, the ABA Journal named Gonzales’ successor, Attorney General Michael Mukasey, as its top lawyer for 2008 […]
This is getting old. Ann Coulter is out on our public airwaves using a defense any 5 year old would use (and she is suppose to be a lawyer?). That defense is simple – “Well Bill Maher did it”. Wow Ann – if Bill Maher jumped off a bridge, would you? So let’s look at […]
Last week the hot talk was how Ted Strickland could be ineligible to vote because of residency problems. The complaint was voted on by the county election board and the vote ended in a tie right along party lines. That forced the decision to be sent up to the Secretary of State’s office for a […]

This is amazing. During an exchange on Capital Hill today between Senator Patrick Leahy and Steven Bradbury, legal council for the Department of Justice, Bradbury said that “the President is always right”. Here is the transcript compliments of Raw Story: MR. BRADBURY: Well, Senator, I think — as I said in my testimony, obviously the […]
This is large big huge enormous. Looks like the old N.H. phone jamming scheme is leading to the White House more and more, as Raw Story points out: The fourth man indicted in a New Hampshire phone-jamming scheme — in which Republican operatives jammed the phone lines of Democratic get-out-the-vote efforts in a 2002 Senate […]
