(53,661 posts)Perry was indicted in Texas and his supporters rallied behind him and those are voters. Siegelman was unfairly prosecuted (or so we think) and those who did it were voted in again.
Look at all the things the GOP has done. It proves that lawbreaking is no barrier to serving public office if voters go to the polls to show approval.
This is something some Democrats miss out on. We are the party of good governance, that believe the law should be applied equally. It took massive turnouts in the seventies to change laws that put limits on these people. Now we can't even (if DU is any judge) stir up the outrage at what the GOP is doing enough to get out to vote.
Yes, she really should be charged for this. But the GOP says no, they are outraged. Whether the states or districts involved have the funding to go after her, IDK. Do they have the prosecutors, judges and juries that would convict, maybe not. The tone of the GOP is lawbreaking because they want to remove the law and the government and leave us to fend for ourselves against the rich and powerful alone. All we have to resist with is our numbers and our willingness to vote them out of office so they stop subverting the rule of law.
