What has happened re the political incarceration of Don Siegelman? Last I heard USSC ruled appeals

[Bill USA]

court to consider his appeal:

Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman will be back in court again on Wednesday, Jan. 19, this time before the same panel of Republican-appointed justices on the Eleventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals who upheld parts of his conviction in Atlanta two years ago.

But due to the age of the justices and the warmer climate closer to where two of them live, Siegelman said in a telephone interview this weekend, the next round of Siegelman’s appeal will be heard in Jacksonville, Florida.

1. Hey thanks for that link...

I've been checking out the Legal Scnauzer for most of the Siegelman stuff (Emptywheel too), but this Locus Fork News Journal site seems pretty darned thorough too.

2. Yet another instance of Obama betraying us.

A Justice Department that had the least desire to see Justice done would have freed Siegelman and indicted his tormenters long ago. Obviously, there are some backroom deals being made by Holder with Rove's people to keep Rove's people out of jail -- while continuing to threaten Siegelman with prison time. Don't know WHY Obama would so willingly sell us out to Rove, but it's obvious he has. No other arrangement of facts makes sense. Selling out is wrong, but it often makes sense.

Boy, it's a tough world when a clay-footed appeaser like Obama is a Democrat's only hope.
