Stevens Cleared! and Chicago Politics

"Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."

Speaking of Alaska's former U.S Senator Ted Stevens:

"On Tuesday, however, the Justice Department dropped all charges, citing prosecutorial misconduct. Judge Emmet Sullivan held the federal prosecutors in contempt of court in February for failing to comply with a court order that internal documents be delivered to Stevens' attorneys -- documents that would have significantly helped the defense in cross examining a key witness against Stevens. Beyond that, Justice rules prohibit issuing indictments so close to an election, except under extraordinary circumstances. It seems those extraordinary circumstances were the effort to reach 60 Democrat seats in the Senate." - Patriot Post

"We've criticized Mr. Stevens for excessive spending and earmarks, and his habits contributed to the decline and fall of the GOP Congress. His explanation at trial about the gifts he received was hard to believe, and a D.C. jury inclined to dislike Republicans didn't believe it. But Mr. Stevens deserved a fair trial and the full protection of the law. He got neither here, and that's a larger scandal than anything he was charged with." - Wallstreet Journal
