The Wilsons' Civil Case Just Got Kicked into Overdrive

[CorpGovActivist]

If you haven't already signed up for a free PACER account (Public Access to Court Electronic Records), now would be a good time to do so:

The docket for the Wilsons' civil case is probably going to add a large number of new filings within very short order.

You can get the case number off the select filings shown at CREW: http://www.citizensforethics.org/press/newsrelease.php?view=151

Best to all,

- Dave

P.S. In a bit of poetic justice, the precedent set in the Paula Jones civil suit allows the Wilsons to insist on deposing Cheney, Rove, etc.

3. I believe the Wilsons also have a legal defense fund set up

I am sure they could use the donations since their case is now obviously going to get moving in a big way. Does anyone have the link to that site?

8. Their civil case should be a slam dunk now

with a criminal conviction as evidense I don't see how it couldn't be. maybe snarlin dickhead will have to let lose of some of the Iraq money he stole.

9. allows the Wilsons to insist on deposing Cheney, Rove, etc.

MUSIC TO MY EARS! or EYES! I cannot wait for the day Cheney has to answer for what he's done.

... just got a lot stronger today.

10. Does anyone know the name of the Judge that presides over this trial

I agree that it makes the Wilson's civil case aka OJ's criminal trial vs his civil trial , stand a much better chance of finding justice.

The judge could make the difference.

19. Yes, the Initials After the Docket Number Are...

JDB: http://www.citizensforethics.org/filelibrary/011607WilsonPlaintiffsOpposition.pdf

That would appear to be John D. Bates, a Bush 43 appointee:
