Yesterday, Ted Stevens, the defeated Senator of Alaska, was able to be relieved of the charges that dogged his re-election campaign. The Justice Department, under Attorney General Eric Holder, has asked a federal judge to drop all charges against the former Senator due to the fact that the prosecution did not give the defense the evidence that they were using to prosecute Stevens.
It is a disgrace that the Justice Department prosecuted a person on charges that should have been dealt by the Senate Ethics Committee. Now Stevens' seat is occupied by a Democrat who benefited from a false conviction.

He's guilty but the Bush Justice Dept. screwed up the case.
Thats the part I hate most about politics. Its too corupt! Many congress people who have tons of money can get away with just about anything. If we did what Ted Stevens did, we will be in jail by now.
