Holding a lawyer responsible for his legal opinions or for the actions of his "client" would change the way the legal system works, similar as to the way that malpractice lawsuits have had on the medical profession, but on an even greater scale. It would also tie up the court system with even more frivolous lawsuits.

Does this mean that the SCOTUS is now guilty of facilitating "war crimes" by this decision? These folks need to get off this "torture"kick once and for all... geeeezzzz! Sarge
