This case is turning out to be death by a thousand cuts.

Lewis Libby is due back in court today to find out whether he will be allowed to remain free while awaiting his appeal.

I’d say his chances for that are slim to none based on what the judge has already said.

Libby’s attorneys are ready to send an emergency order request to the appeals court, asking to allow him to be free on bail while he pursues his appeals process.

If this doesn’t succeed all eyes will be on the president to see if he will pardon Libby or commute his sentence to everything he was already sentenced to except incarceration.

We’ll just have to wait and see.
