Sarcasm in Scooter's Sentence

Ha ha... I LOVE the footnote from this order penned by Judge Reggie Walton in the Scooter Libby sentencing circus.

When 12 legal scholars including a professor from Harvard Law and a former Supreme Court nominee manage to put together an amicus brief in just a few short days, the judge takes notice.

"It is an impressive show of public service when twelve prominent and distinguished current and former law professors of well-respected schools are able to amass their collective wisdom in the course of only several days to provide their legal expertise to the Court on behalf of a criminal defendant. The Court trusts that this is a reflection of these eminent academics' willingness in the future to step to the plate and provide like assistance in cases involving any of the numerous litigants, both in this Court and throughout the courts of our nation, who lack the financial means to fully and properly articulate the merits of their legal positions even in instances where failure to do so could result in monetary penalties, incarceration, or worse. The Court will certainly not hesitate to call for such assistance from these luminaries, as necessary in the interests of justice and equity, whenever similar questions arise in the cases that come before it."

D'oh... I think he's calling you out guys.
