Congressman Jone's Nifong story just hit FNC as a Fox News Alert.

I remember stories about him being carried out of the House by his aides. My cousin was a -- tada -- PAGE at the time and saw it himself.

If continuing a prosecution that the da knows is false isn't a violation of due process, than what is?

First you have to prove that he "knows" the charges are false and if you can prove that, it's sure an ethics violation under the state code of conduct, and a major one at that, but I don't know if it violates Federal due process requirements, unless they are convicted of a crime.

I'm glad something is being done but I wish it was someone else pushing the envelope. If ANYONE can foul this up it is Walter Jones!

Lordy Mercy! Do you mean his aide's carried him out of the US House of Representatives?

I'm beginning to suspect that College Fraternity parties, including the Lacrosse team party, would be viewed as boring by the professional frolickers we send to DC.

The State Attorney General and Governor refuse to do anything, therefore the Department of Justice and the Federal Prosecutor can step in. You should have seen the form letter that the NC Attorney General sent out. He washed his hands and said that the prosecutor in Durham need only answer to the voters, since it is an elected office. I suppose with logic like that, the DA could have been murdering witnesses and the AG would still wash his hands of it?

Long overdue- this case should never reach trial.

"Nifong is the one who should be in jail."

......or stand trial with FReepers making up the jury! Wouldn't that be FUN?

It's a rat-controlled state. The AG isn't going to lift a finger. Rats have never policed their own.

Isn't this Friday (15th) the last of the hearings? I think it just might get dismissed this week.

Taking over the case is not the issue. The AG certainly has the authority to investigate Liefong, but would have to have received a request from Liefong to take over the case itself.

Apples and oranges.
