Put Libby in the can!

Well, while we are on the subject of our ethical legal professionals here in the U.S., we may as well bring this up to!

Probation....for four felonies. The maximum sentence for his four Federal Felonies add up to $1 Million and 30 years in prison. Sounds about right to me. That's about as close to treason as it gets. This man should never see the light of day again. What else are the prisons we keep building for? Oh yeah...drug offenders. Most of em a danger only to themselves.

It will be interesting to see what happens... I'm sure it won't be what he deserves though. I Lewis Libby jr. - scumbag lawyer - yet another in a long line of upstanding legal professionals.

Yes, yes, I know generalizations are idiotic. Really though, how much damage should we allow one profession? Or a legal system that upholds the very corruption it is designed to eliminate?

This doesn't even touch on my personal experiences with lawyers... These experiences have not altered my opinions in any way. My lawyer for my mother's estate told me we would not be able to claim any funds in IRA accounts-- that the government gets to keep them. I told him he was insane, proved it to him, and STILL had to do ALL the work to claim the accounts. That was but one of his MAJOR errors that I am still dealing with 3 years later. Let's see then there are the lawyers who wouldn't touch the estate once he was involved or even discuss litigation against a fellow lawyers practice. They still charged me though for the phone consultations. It goes on but that would just be me bitchin...

So, ya this generalization doesn't bother me to much. I'm not off the mark to much when I say lawyers are scumbags.

More later I'm sure...they just can't seem to stop being scumbags.
