Walton is a tough law and order judge, who, btw, was appointed to the DC Circuit Court by Bush.
I would lean to him NOT allowing Libby to remain free pending appeal, particularly since Walton has indicated that he does not believe an appeal has merit based on how he presided over the case.
We shall see next week after both sides file arguments for/against LIbby remaining free...but I expect we will see the "perp" walk to jail later this summer.
The only question remaining if that happens....is a pardon by Bush between now and then.
