Retry Blago?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

Poll question: Retry Blago?

My take:

They got the man convicted of a crime. (though how lying to the FBI got to be a crime...)

The whole case is embarrassing to everyone who touches it. Using vague crime categories to criminalize being a political sleazeweasel invites abuse (political use of justice system a la Rove) as much as it fights corruption. It was a political crime and a political price was paid -- impeachment and removal from office. On top of that, a criminal conviction. This citizen considers his pound of flesh gotten.

Just declare victory and drop it.

1. I'd rather try Bush, Rumsfeld, and Cheney than retry Blago.

Blago is small time.

5. I'm not aware of all the facts of the case

I forgot most of what I learned when the story broke. Whatever is appropriate I'm fine with. Whether that is re-try or not.
