Hardball-Turley-Pardon The right wing apologists are out in force today, attempting to defend Scooter Libby and the President's decision to commute his sentence. Who better to counter the lies and spin than constitutional law professor, Jonathan Turley? The apologist, R.

Turley repeats his assertion that Vice President Dick Cheney should have been an un-indicted, co-conspirator in this case all along..
