Rule of Law?
Jeez. Based on the GOP party line about “Criminalizing Politics” and “Criminalizing Conservatives”, you’d think that something that was previously legal was being…y’know, criminalized. I’ve been under the impression that money laundering, insider trading, and treason were already considered crimes…
If history is a reliable indicator of conservative wonkishness, the next logical step will be a Republican movement to “deregulate” any blatantly criminal behavior that benefits the GOP. After all, it worked so well with price fixing, environmental destruction, and union-busting.

Exactly. This isn’t looking at politics and deciding to make some of it “criminal.” This is politicians, this time on the Republican side, deciding on illegal means to their political ends and then their consorts bitching when they get caught. Bullshit!
Hunter at Kos had a good post on this yesterday. I spun off Hunter’s piece at my place, but it pretty much consisted of an excerpt and then tacking the above comment on…read if you like
P.S. Greg, do you mind the semi-whoring links? Or would you rather me lay off? I don’t want to paste whole giant posts into your comments…I’m just trying to be less of a lurker and participate. And, yes, driving a little traffic my way wouldn’t upset me either.
