5. I absolutely agree that this is the worst aspect of this.
If ever NOLA needed a strong voice in Congress, it is now.

That having been said, however, it is proof that we do get the government we choose to elect. I just wonder if he would have been ferreted out so quickly and so strongly if he wasn't Black? The way things are in this country these days (in both Parties), I do have to wonder if this prosecution is racially motivated.
