Her politics stink, but actually, I like many of the other things she's done. And her line of cookware and home furnishings at KMart is of excellent quality and a very good value.

It's definitely a witch hunt by ideologically-motivated anti-business prosecutors who wanted a high profile case.

It's incredible that, among other things, the woman was also charged with stock manipulation simply for declaring that she was not guilty of the other charges. People are all hysterical about the Patriot Act, but here is a genuine violation of rights, and it's totally ignored because Martha Stewart happens to be the victim.

Even though her politics do stink...

"People are all hysterical about the Patriot Act, but here is a genuine violation of rights, and it's totally ignored because Martha Stewart happens to be the victim. "

I am still trying to understand how a woman that dumped her stock the day before stocks tanked is somehow a "genuine violation of rights." That rights are you referring to? The right to not break the law? She is being accused of securites fraud. Last I checked this fits perfectly with what she is being accused of. And this Patriot Act nonsense.....I have yet to have ONE person tell me where their "personal liberties" have been DIRECTLY effected by the act.

I'll bet the shareholders of her company would like to wring her neck. Her obfuscation cost them, bigtime.
