WASHINGTON — The legal fallout from the 2003 CIA leak scandal continues as lawyers seek dismissal of a lawsuit against members of the Bush administration.
Former CIA operative Valerie Plame contends the administration violated her constitutional rights by leaking her identity to reporters in 2003. She is demanding compensation from Vice President Dick Cheney; one of his former aides,I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby; White House political adviser Karl Rove; and former State Department Deputy Secretary Richard Armitage.
Their lawyers were scheduled to argue Thursday that a judge should throw out the case.
Plame's lawyers say the case could reveal more about the inner workings of the Bush White House than surfaced during Libby's monthlong perjury trial, but Thursday's arguments were to focus on technical matters of law.
Plame and her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, say the administration violated their free speech, due process and privacy rights.
To succeed, their lawyers must show that Cheney and the other defendants are not immune from such suits because they clearly violated the Constitution.

Here we go again...the Democrats looking for a crime that they are brainwashed into believing that the President's administration is covering up.
Discovery process should be fun to watch.........
Like any typical liberal, they mooch their money from others.
From the usual suspects.
She is doing anything to get money and extend her fifteen minutes.
Ain’t that the truth! One way or another they are going to “discover” the “evil” workings of the Bush Admin.
That is what I was thinking. It should be a hoot!
Why doesn’t the former CYA operative Plame just sue former State Department Deputy Secretary Richard Armitage?
Stoprightthere /meatloaf. Violated their free speech rights??? Did that pair ever once STFU??? Good grief, Joe, the ONE THING they could have AND SHOULD HAVE done is declassify your Senate testimony and expose you as the fraud it would make you out to be. All that fame and income would have never been.
Just a WAG but can you spell S-O-R-O-S?
As the late sportscaster Jim Healy used to say, "my lips are sealed, but his initials are G.S. G.S." (or M.O.O.)
PING !
Ever wonder WHTAT THESE PEOPLE ARE THINKING????
Just. Unbelieveable.
CREW—which is a Hillary operation funded by Soros.
