Very big of you also to concede he won’t be re-elected since he’s term-limited. No, what I am arguing is perhaps lawmakers should make the law not break it.Communications guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15039487955952973487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35718918.post-30439437415271709732007-08-19T04:39:00.000-05:002007-08-19T04:39:00.000-05:00He is to be held to a higher standard politically....He is to be held to a higher standard politically.

There’s no excused when he has paid staffers that could, in a pinch, keep a drunk from behind the wheel.Communications guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15039487955952973487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35718918.post-62148593054923735172007-08-15T03:15:00.000-05:002007-08-15T03:15:00.000-05:00Garfield got lucky on this one, and while I think ...Garfield got lucky on this one, and while I think its not entirely fair ad agree with you on that, I'd point out that civil libertarians fought long and hard for the ability to throw out cases where the police don't line up their ducks.<BR/><BR/>But alas, Garfield is term-limited, and even (especially) Republican consultants will remember the issue if that time ever came again at another level.Chetly Zarkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00853223756872874594noreply@blogger.com
