Of all people to point this out...
Edited on Fri Oct-03-03 09:17 PM by neuvocat
Ok, I had someone point this out:

under Ashcroft there is mandatory sentencing guidelines that give prosecutors greater levity in prosecuting defendants (sp?).

Rush might very well end up doing time for this and wouldn't be just so ironic that Ashcroft was the one who threw Rush in jail.

(I have to consider that the guy I spoke to is a republican. I don't entirely agree with him at this point but its still worth considering.)

On Edit: someone just pointed out that I should have used some other word than "levity". "leeway" for example would be more appropriate.

2. Asskroft will never, never,
NEVER put the pig-boy in the slammer, NEVER! Shrub will confess all and resign the presidency before that happens, and we all know the liklihood of that!

5. If the maid didn't need a few bucks and had gone to the National...
...Enquirer, none of us were ever going to hear about anything. That is what I think.
