Appeals court rebukes judge in North contempt ruling
A federal appeals court says Judge Aubrey Robinson erred by holding Lt. Col. Oliver North in contempt without ruling on Norths challenge to Walsh appointment. The panel orders Robison to decide if Meese had legal authority to appoint Walsh and whether Walshs authority is proper, leaving the ethics law challenge unresolved.
