1. Is Obama About to Make a Terrible
Nomination in Alabama?
by Roger Shuler of Legal Schnauzer
Why does Simpson object to Beck? Let us count the ways:
- Mr. Beck works at Capell & Howard, a law firm that represents
Leura Canary's husband and the Alabama Business Council--
and is the office used by Karl Rove when he holds meetings in
Alabama.
So Beck's firm has ties to Karl Rove. And Simpson is just
getting warmed up. Beck's actions, or lack thereof, indicate he
did everything possible to help the government earn a bogus
conviction in the Siegelman case. Says Simpson:
Mr. Beck is the gentleman who represented Nick Baily and let him be
questioned 70 times and be bullied by Leura Canary's team of
lawyers. And George never saw a conflict here even though his firm
represents Mr. Canary who was causing (the Siegelman case to be
brought).

2. Will Prosecutors Soon Have to Answer for
Their Misdeeds?
by Roger Shuler of Legal Schnauzer
....Now we are left with these big questions: Will that legal notion, the
doctrine of prosecutorial immunity, be overturned completely? And will
it be joined by its ugly cousin, the doctrine of judicial immunity?
Our hope is that the answer to both of these questions proves to be a
resounding yes. We personally have suffered from the evils created
by judicial immunity. And our guess is that the Don Siegelman case
and other Bush-era abuses never would have happened without the
protections offered by prosecutorial immunity.
The U.S. Supreme Court dismissed an Iowa-based case,
Pottawattamie County v. McGhee and Harrington, after the parties
announced they had reached a settlement. The ABA Journal reports
that the county agreed to pay $12 million to settle the case.
