13. Still waiting for the DOJ to do with the Siegelman case what they did with Ted Steven's case.

Still waiting for the Dem leadership to stand up for one of their best who was railroaded, and it's not as if there is not evidence of this, by the minions of Karl Rove.

The DOJ however, DID look into the conviction of Republican Sen. Ted Stevens due to problems with the prosecution, which there were apparently, and overturned that conviction.

Imo, that was the right thing to do IF there was any sign of corruption of the system of justice.

There is NO doubt at all about corruption in Siegelman's case, yet the DOJ has yet to do for him what they did for Stevens.

No surprise at all that that corrupt judge would also be a wife beater.
