This infuriates me to no end.
NOW the court has decided Senator Ted Stevens is innocent? No one realized the prosecution was going after Stevens for political hay back in October? Come ON people!! This is getting ridiculous!! And the timing of it?? REALLY???
If the man had really committed crimes then he needed to be removed and sent to jail. Period. That should apply to both sides of the aisle. We the People are sick to death of all the corruption coming out of Washington and we want it cleaned out. Using the courts to discredit Stevens illegally is CRIMINAL and is becoming more and more of a common practice at election time.
Does anyone want to bet that if we were able to track back the prosecutorial misconduct it would lead back to the U.S. Senate? This whole prosecution was about politics with the ultimate goal of getting as many seats as possible for the new president to work with – no matter what it took. Want to bet it might even take us all the way back to the office of none other than the Honorable Senator Chuck Shumer (D-NY)?? That office seems to have become “Dirty Tricks Central” when it comes to getting people elected to the Democrat side of the aisle. Michael Steele and George Allen could probably attest to the tricks that are played out of that office. When the Dems are caught there is always some low-level dupe willing to take the bullet for the higher-ups – and we’re supposed to believe it all came about due to an overzealous party worker rather than a plan. I might buy that once, but now we’re looking at a pattern.
This time it may get a little more real than it has in the past when a hand-slap was enough to send the Lapdog American Media off in a new direction. This time the judge has ordered a ‘special prosecutor’ to look into Department of Justice misconduct. In the end there could be disbarment, fines, jail time and… before we get too breathless at seeing our favorite politicians hauled off in handcuffs to be roommates with Bubba at the city jail, we have to remember that they’re all in this together and likely to cover for each other all the way up the ladder.
I blame President George W. Bush for this mess. Had he cleared the DOJ of all the partisans left over from the previous administration when he came to office he could have taken away the temptation of the corrupt to reach out to their cohorts in the DOJ to go after Stevens in the first place. Clinton cleared away all the partisans when he came in as will Obama, but George Bush wanted to look bipartisan so he left most holdovers in place. BIG mistake. Historically, Washington has never been a bipartisan place. EVER. And it looks like it will remain split for the foreseeable future. Let’s hope the ‘special prosecutor’ does the job and tracks this all the way back to where it started. Like they say… follow the money.

That is the point, to slowly take away our rights so that along the way it looks like it's something that we should be doing. A couple rights taken here, a couple there, no biggie. Those things add up and soon the entire tobacco industry is out.
