From AP:
WASHINGTON - Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, who faces an imminent prison term in the CIA leak case, asked a federal appeals court Tuesday to step in and delay the sentence.
In a motion to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Libby argued that that ruling was inappropriate. He said he has a good chance of having his conviction overturned on appeal and should not have to serve jail time while the court challenge plays out.
"The Bureau of Prisons will shortly designate a prison facility and direct Libby to report within a period of two to three weeks after designation," his attorneys wrote. "Accordingly, we respectfully ask that the court expedite action on this application."
The request will be considered by a three-judge panel of the court. By policy, the court does not disclose which judges are on the panel until a decision is made.
Libby is scared a shit to go to the pokey. We only hope that three-judge panel doesn the right thing.

Yes this will be interesting to see if the Appeals Judges are on the Bush pay roll. Cheney might be offering some of his Halliburton shares as pay off money to the Judges. We can only hope their are more honest Judges like Judge Walton who can't be paid off. The History books all ready have Libby's name in it as a White House Criminal.
