Declining to prosecute

There is a special "get out of jail free card" that seems to exist for Republicans. It's tricky though, because a) it depends on having a Republican president who will b) appoint a lap dog Attorney General who will do his bidding.

A couple of weeks ago, it was Mukasey saying that Monica Gooding had broken the law by using political questions in hiring practices at Justice, but that, to paraphrase "not every violation of the law is a crime". This is your Attorney General ladies and gentlemen.

This week, it's the old AG, Alberto Gonzales. After committing the exact same crime that led to fines and disbarring for Sandy Berger, he gets off with hardly a wrist slap.

Please don't try to tell me that the Democrats act the same way, because they do not. There is a very clear choice in this election. Are we a nation of laws, or a nation of men?
