Not the Justices he appointed. Never before has the entire Supreme Court refused to show up for a president's scheduled State of the Union address. Meanwhile, the less charismatic criminal working out of the White House can't seem to shake an investigation into his own criminal acts. First Charles LaBella and now Robert J. Conrad have recommended appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate Gore's fundraising violations. It's been a disaster for all their careers, but the thing is, the law is their career, so they can't help themselves.
Lawyers look at the law, look at the facts, and apply the law to the facts.
Vice President Gore broke the law. He committed criminal campaign- fundraising violations by holding a fundraiser at a Buddhist Temple, making fundraising calls from his office, and then lying to investigators about both. In the end, Gore may never trade in his earth tones for prison blues, but the legal system can't stop itself from trying to apprehend him. The White House's consigliere is just dragging out his misery. Thanks to Janet Reno's dutiful ministrations, Al Gore cannot escape his own True Crime Stories meets Groundhog Day .
