Scooter's Wheels Removed

Lewis “Scooter” Libby has been disbarred by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. In a terse Opinion, the court reasoned that disbarment is mandatory when a member of the bar is convicted of a crime of moral turpitude and that perjury and obstruction of justice are each just such a crime. His friend the President, of course, has commuted his sentence because it was disproportionate to the offence, while offering no such comfort to Marion Jones who sits in prison away from her seven month old because of a similar conviction for perjury.
