Press Release Summary = Howard Dean’s life-long friend, advisor, lawyer and top appointee got his chance few lawyers have – to argue before the highest court in this country and display a clumsy ineptness which completely botched the case.
Press Release Body = In late February Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell argued in Randall v. Sorrell before the U.S. Supreme Court. Sorrell’s argument urged that Vermont needed the lowest political campaign spending limits in the United States because of rampant political corruption in Vermont.
Howard Dean commanded DNC attorneys to file a court brief supporting his friend Sorrell.
At argument, Chief Justice Roberts questioned AG Sorrell as to just how many political corruption prosecutions had he brought in Vermont in the last 9 years of Sorrell’s incumbency. Sorrell’s response -- NONE.
Vermont either has an attorney general willing to bring false and frivolous arguments into the court system or Sorrell has refused to prosecute and has covered-up all this political corruption he portrayed to the U.S. Supreme Court. At least Dean and his sidekick Sorrell have admitted to the corruption that flourished in Vermont during Dean’s tenure.
