Bush’s 2000 recount lawyer set to blast Bush in speech

Bush’s 2000 recount lawyer set to blast Bush in speech.

Barry Richard, the lawyer who “achieved fame for his successful representation of George Bush in the Bush v. Gore recount suits, is set to give a speech blasting the Bush administration Saturday night” at the National Association of Former U.S. Attorneys’ (NAFUSA) annual conference. There will also be a panel discussion featuring two of the ousted U.S. attorneys. The National Law Journal reports:

“I’m sure people will see my name on the program and expect I will be defending the administration,” said Richard, a Tallahassee, Fla., lawyer.

“But I’m a constitutional lawyer. I am concerned with the Bush administration’s assault on American liberties … how the administration deals with habeas corpus and the administration’s posture on electronic surveillance. This administration has gone farther than any other.”

3. inspired by the lawyers in Pakistan? Yes? Maybe? ... whatever but this
Barry Richard who will be doing the right thing Saturday (even when he did not in 2000) should better pay attenti0n to what's happened to the lawyers in Pakistan and watch his back.

If you hadn't done your job so well, Barry, there would have been no Bush administration to assault your civil liberties.

You've been a most effective tool. Goodbye!
