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.
