plamegate goes to the courts

Interesting to see that exposed CIA agent Valerie Plame is suing the true Axis of Evil -- Cheney, Rove, and Scooter. It was established during Clinton's term that lawsuits against sitting presidents would be permitted by the courts. Whether that same ability will apply here seems uncertain to me.

Second, the triumverate is being sued for things done in the line of work, more or less.
