Surely, the Justice Department is playing a practical joke on the American people by requesting the conviction against former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens be vacated and the preceding charges against him dropped.
Why?
Some things during the trial may not have been up to snuff, such as sharing discovery of evidence between the prosecution and defense. While I am a staunch believer in the law, only in America could a politician receive a free pass, which proves that the rule of law really does not apply to the privileged. Perhaps, the greatest punishment the 85-year-old Republican can endure is that the voters of Alaska sent a Democrat to replace him in the United States Senate in November.
