In what we hope will be the final chapter in the overwhelmingly pathetic Plame Kerfuffle:
CREW learned today that the Obama administration is opposing our request that the Supreme Court reconsider the dismissal of the lawsuit, Wilson v. Libby, et al. In that case, the district court had dismissed the claims of Joe and Valerie Wilson against former Vice President Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby and Richard Armitage for their gross violations of the Wilsons’ constitutional rights.
Agreeing with the Bush administration, the Obama Justice Department argues the Wilsons have no legitimate grounds to sue. It is surprising that the first time the Obama administration has been required to take a public position on this matter, the administration is so closely aligning itself with the Bush administration’s views.
In fact, the Obama administration has gone one step further, suggesting Mr. Wilson failed to provide any evidence that Mr. Cheney, Mr. Rove or Mr. Libby harmed him.
In the Plame Kerfuffle, the only people we know for certain lied are Valerie Plame (about whether or not she suggested her husband) and Joe Wilson (who lied about what he found in Niger) – other than that, all other statements regarding the issue by every single person in the case have proven correct. I offer my thanks to President Obama for agreeing that this issue is a distraction and that people like Plame/Wilson should just go away.
