Celebrity Juror #9's random thoughts and notes on the testimony and the jury deliberations. I believe this is the first half. Fascinating stuff. My guess is the guy has already signed a book deal.

Everyone's favorite liberal blogging lawyer Jeralyn Merritt, who covered the trial, has Scooter Libby's sentencing guidelines and her predictions. Her complete beginning to end coverage is indexed here.

Digby: Where's Rove? Bonus: Russert testimony pivotal.

Think Progress: Fox News calls for pardon. Joe Wilson reacts to verdict.

Bill Scher: Blogs kept story from being swept under the rug.

Media Matters: Watch for the spin.

New York Times: Libby guilty

New York Times: Cheney questions remain

Washington Post: Moment of accountability

Washington Post: Libby was the fall guy

Investor's Business Daily: Travesty of justice

In the Fair and Balanced equal time department, Free Republic weighs in after the jump...


Reaction from Free Republic:

There is JOY in hell today.

Rush better scream from the mountain tops...

And the Witch Hunt begins in earnest. They won't stop here.

The jury was too stupid to understand the counts.

This is a travesty. I hope Fitzgerald rots in h*ll.

Justice in America is dead. The liberal courts killed it a long, long time ago.

I wonder how long it will be before [Plame] poses in Playboy or Penthouse?

This is setting up the Democrat plan to take the White House. WE are in BIG trouble!

We are at war folks, for the future of this country.

Hell is comin' and the Red White and Blue will win but it's gonna get damn bloody.

I need a dictionary with new nasty names to call Liberals...'cause my old one doesn't suffice.

This situation HAS to be BIBLICAL. Good has become evil, and Evil has become good.

Black is white and white is black. The world is upside-down. This is surreal.

Biggest leftist show trial of an innocent man since Stalin's show trials of the 1930s.

White heterosexual conservative professional male defendants are the prized prey of 'Rat prosecutors and juries in "blue" jurisdictions.

Fitzgerald: "Anyone who tells a lie under oath is serious" - of course, unless your name is William Jefferson Clinton. Traitors all.

Re-read Revelations Good will become bad and bad will become good. It is all Bibilical!

Fitzi is a POS scumbag. The man is lower than Joe McCarthy. Libby's real crime is serving a Republican administration.

How can this be a fair trial when this is such a partisan case and you have it in DC where RATS outnumber Republicans 8 to 1?

To have to listen to these rats take the high ground while knowing what CLINTON did is enough to make your stomach turn.

If only Scooter had had sex with Tim Russert and lied about it,it wouldnt be so bad

There's blood in the water now, the Democratic sharks are going to be looking for more victims.

The Democraps will have no problem breaking the law. They have the DBM and the Washington DC jury pool in their hip pockets!!

Keep talking RAT juror, you're going to regret it when we dig up all kind of $hit on you

From day one, the dims and leftist have done and said anything, even lied when they wanted without repercussions. There has been no one, on either side, to draw them back and say, enough is enough. They keep taking and taking because there are no boundaries any longer. All the envelopes have been pushed and no one was brave enough to restrain them. We are reaping what we have allowed them to sow. They have been given carte blanch to destroy this country of ours.

Moonbat juror, just as I predicted, a jury of conspirazoids!

This is a D.C jury filled of left wing lunatics and the verdict against Libby was expected to be “guilty”. What a travesty of a case and trial!

If this case doesn't motivate the conservative base to take back control of the government from the post modern, fascist Democrats, I don't know what will become of this country.

By the way, is there any chance that the former WA PO reporter [juror] is also Gay? I only ask because the Gays are so rabid in their hate of the Bush administration.

Rush must on this thread! He just pointed out what we are saying about the Jurors.

Stupid moon bats are celebrating like they actually won something.

This whole thing reiterates my view that you must FIGHT liberals every step of the way---you cannot "work with them" or even side with them on ANYTHING.

And this verdict will have a very detrimental effect on the government's ability to investigate terrorism and to wage the war on terror.

MR BUSH! Pardon this man. The trial was nothing more than a witch hunt.

Sometimes I think a Katrina-style event in Washington DC, would benefit our country immensely. Let's clean em out and move the countries' capitol to a red state.

Rush hired a Dim lawyer but got better advice than Libby.

In the eyes of the MSM and the 'rats Scooter is worse than a murderer -- he was a member of the Bush Administration. The 'rats would conduct their own Nuremberg trails against every official up to and including GWB if they could get away with it.

American justice is dead, and this proves it.

Of course, they're all liars and traitorous liberals.

A clear and present threat to the republic.

The Clinton rape and vengence machine in action...

Jurors convicts Libby. Congress convicts Cheney and Bush. Democracts assume Presidency. President appeases terrorists. Terrorists nuke D.C.. Jurors are toast.

Pretty soon just being a registered Republican will be enough to get you into trouble (property reassessment, etc.).

Who was that lawyer who lied about getting a blowjob from a fat chick, oh right, Bill Clinton.

Rush has been doing his best to put this travesty in perspective; but as he noted, most of the country get its "news" from the mass media, and from a single source of those liars at that.

Well P, we had all better get used to it because the libs in this country have their agenda and they will stick to it. You, me and others who register as Republicans and behave like conservatives are at a higher risk of being falsely accused and convicted than any other segment of the population. The freedoms in this country are shrinking and shrinking fast. Libs only talk the talk, they never walk the walk.

Freepers?

Balanced?

Oh, I get it...you made a funny.

Libs only talk the talk, they never walk the walk.

That one is the funniest of all. Are they still in denial about World War II? We won that one under the leadership of the greatest Liberal Democrat of all time, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in spite of the fact that Prescott Bush, the grandaddy of the worst President of all time, had been selling war materials to Hitler.

No crime was committed in

No crime was committed in Whitewater either, unless you call burning $50 million on the investigation or Hillary Clinton's lost of about $60 grand on the land deal crimes.

I think that honest Republicans* know the difference between a persecution and a prosecution. And by any rational standard, Fitzgerald is an Eagle Scout. (GOPers would love to believe that Fitz is a partisan witchhunter, but use the Google. Here's your search terms for the day -- James Laski, Antoin Rezko, "Hired Truck Scandal.")

And thank God/Yahweh/Allah/Buddha/Krsna that Starrquemada is now cooling his heels teaching his comfy chair techniques at Pepperdine Law rather than sitting on the Roberts Supreme Court.

M...

I having trouble remembering that, actually. And hey wasn't Lincoln, not only the first President to openly sleep with a man in the Whitehouse, but also the first republican?

My memory must be going the way my knees are.

What is Lincoln Day actually? I've heard stories...

Lincoln (aside)

Steve, Lincoln ran as a Republican in 1860, but ran on the National Union ticket (with Dem Andrew Johnson) in 1864. The short-lived National Union party was essentially Republicans who took loyal Southern Dems into their fold.

I don't mean to sound picky, but.............

Tam, actually, Lincoln was nominated in 1864 by the Republican Party as he was in 1860. Subsequently, the Republican Party changed its name to the National Union Party for the 1864 election won by Lincoln overwhelmingly. Thus, there was a short time when the Republican Party didn't exist.

And, Creek -- why are there so many like you who want Lincoln to have been gay? The fact is, after arriving in Springfield in the late 1830's and into the early 40's, he shared a room - that contained one bed - with a guy from Louisville, KY named Speed. Guys shared beds all the time back then. Since there were plenty of beds in the White House when he was President, there is no historical evidence that Lincoln shared one with a man while there.

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE LIBBY CONVICTION?

I never said Lincoln was gay, but why do conservatives go to such lengths to deny the possibility? That's what is so funny.

And the guy Lincoln slept with when Mary Todd was away was Captain David Derrickson. The Speed relationship was much earlier.

Now to answer your question:

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE LIBBY CONVICTION?

It is the fact that Republicans can't handle the truth. They seem to live in a fantasy world of make believe people, where George W. Bush is a great President and Dick Cheney is not a traitor to his country, as your post here indicates rather starkly.

Talk about reading between the lines..........

Creek, I really don't care if Lincoln was gay, straight or bi. BTW, how did my post indicate to you anything about GW or the VEEP? A bit touchy, are we?

WhitesCreek's picture

Cup,

If you don't care, why did you go to the trouble to lie about it?

"Since there were plenty of beds in the White House when he was President, there is no historical evidence that Lincoln shared one with a man...?

that would be the Captain Derrick I mentioned. There are innumerable references historical and otherwise.
