Scooter Libby is disbarred

March 20, 2008

Though Scooter Libby isn't in jail, despite his conviction, he does get to face one punishment: not being able to practice law.

As The Associated Press put it:

Last May, a court panel that oversees lawyer ethics recommended that Libby be stripped of his law license in Washington. The Board on Professional Responsibility then found that Libby's conviction for lying to the FBI about the case of former CIA operative Valerie Plame amounted to "crimes that involve moral turpitude."

"When a member of the bar is convicted of an offense involving moral turpitude, disbarment is mandatory," the appeals court ruled.

There is a very good reason for the disbarrment. Those who work in the law must respect the law. And Scooter Libby and his buddies clearly have no respect for the law.
