This week, Steven Howards achieved a big victory in a Colorado courtroom, thanks to David Lane, his attorney. A federal judge ruled Howards can sue the Secret Service, specifically, he can sue two Secret Service agents who arrested him in 2006 after he touched Vice President Dick Cheney on the arm. And if you're wondering why touching someone on the arm is illegal, that's where it gets a bit confusing. Now, though, Lane will have a chance to depose Cheney and ask him that very question.

After Howards got the then-vice president's attention, he had something to say and what he said was that he believed his Iraq war policies were ''disgusting''. That's when the Secret Service agents, Virgil ''Gus'' Reichel, Jr. and Dan Doyle, arrested Howards. And ever since then, Lane has been attempting to serve Cheney with a subpoena. The judge, after hearing arguments and considering those arguments for several years, ruled today that while Reichel Jr. and Doyle can be sued, two more agents involved may not be, and he cited the First Amendment as justification.

Now, it looks as though the argument will be headed to court, Howards insisting he 'lightly touched' the vice president while the two federal agents say he 'struck him on the shoulder' and then used profanity, prompting them to restrain and eventually arrest Howards.

Lane says he's now looking forward to vindicating his client.

Lane is a partner with the firm Kilmer, Lane & Newman, LLP. He is also a member of the American Civil Liberties Union. He's fought cases throughout the country, including winning a life in prison sentence for a Houston Texas man found guilty of murdering a police officer. He's drawn to those cases where the Constitution plays a major role. He also is the attorney who represented former Colorado University at Boulder professor Ward Churchill.

For more than three decades, David Lane has represented clients, even when it appears the proverbial cards are stacked against those clients. And he has an impressive success rate, too.

For now, Lane, along with his client, prepares for what he hopes will result in the former vice president's appearance in a federal courtroom with him at the helm, asking those tough questions that have earned him the reputation of being a formidable opponent in the legal profession.
