Don’t Like Bush Lawyers? Attack Their Credentials!

I’ve been discussing how to address some of the legal issues that we’re struggling to deal with several people lately, including E.M. of the Grievance Project. I have a post at Left in Alabama that provides a short explanation of the Grievance Project. Basically, it’s a plan to go after lawyers and judges (like Alberto Gonzales) who enable the administration’s crimes by raising questions about their conduct with people who have to power to revoke their legal credentials: state bar associations.

I think it’s a smart plan. It doesn’t require lobbying of legislators, and the bar associations haven’t yet been thoroughly consolidated by the neocons and their ilk. So it might work, if enough people catch on and file complaints.

Thanks for the link, Geneo.

Former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson, a respected lawyer who has been working with a number of other Constitutional experts and activists, has written Conyers and you can add your signature to the letter that addresses — not just Cheney’s trashing of the Constitution– but the long list of Bush administration wrongs.
