16. Is Bush directly involved in any government action before a court?

Edited on Wed Mar-01-06 05:14 PM by FormerRepublican

No. This is one of the very few government cases where Bush IS directly involved, and has made his position crystal clear. With ethical issues, the APPEARANCE of conflict of interest is the standard. The reason why is the very debate we're having right now - it makes the Judge appear to be crooked and untrustworthy in ruling over cases. It undermines public confidence in the justice system, and brings into question the constitutional right to a fair trial.
