Tidal Wave

Get ready for a tidal wave of litigation since our fearless leader decided to break the law and spy on U.S. citizens. TalkLeft outlines the specific cases here and ReddHedd has a good take here.

The fact this is happening is no surprise. Any good defense lawyer will gladly jump on government misconduct to get their client freed. It's unlikely Congressional Republicans will do anything to hold Bush accountable. But there are many judges throughout the nation that will gladly smack down the feds due to the illegal searches.

What should be particularly interesting to watch is how the Supreme Court rules. Some of these cases, plus many others, inevitably will make it to the Supremes. What a wonderful opportunity for Roberts et. al. to demonstrate their loyalty to fearless leader......or not?
