Don't you love it when "respected" jurists quote Spiderman?
Very strange business. This guy had everything going for him, was on the fast track to success, and blew it all for some relatively minor bits of corruption. He should have known that people with Republican associations aren’t allowed to do that.
Dubya should’ve pardoned him.
This, imo, is when prosecutors are out of line as they were in the Martha Stewart case:
Prosecutors had called for Judge Robinson to make an example out of Mr. Kerik, and to punish him for his “egotism and hubris.”
Stewart's prosecutors wanted her nailed as "an example." They are operating outside of the law when they do this, purportedly for purposes of moralism. Typical liberals, in my view.
