Disbarment for Bush Administration lawyers

In what has to be the strangest move yet by the Obamacrats, they are now planning to have the lawyers who wrote the so-called torture memos disbarred. What utter nonsense. There is no crime to giving a legal opinion in good faith. Indeed, giving incorrect advice is also not a crime. Nor is it the basis for disbarment from the practice of law. One has to imagine the conference room where the Obamacrats are huddled around a table trying to figure out what to do. They cannot prosecute these lawyers since there was no criminal activity. They realize that they cannot do anything to these memo writers. but wait, if they themselves follow the law and do nothing, then the crazies in the Democrat base who are out for blood will be upset. What to do, What to do? Oh.....Let's ask that they be disbarred. As John Lovitz used to say, "Yeah...That's the ticket." Only problem is that there is no basis for disbarment. No crime. No fraud. No misconduct of any kind. Just an opinion that the Obamacrats don't agree with.

What's next in the new post-partisan world? Will the Obamacrats try to institute capital punishment for favoring lower taxes? Maybe 40 lashes for speaking ill of Obama. In truth, the Democrats seem more and more like the Stalinists the are.
