[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2596220, member: 1294"] So if investigations, grand jury indictments, and convictions are nothing more than political lawfare then logic dictates it could work both ways, what does that say about our legal system? Tom Delay was convicted, the conviction was overturned by two Republican judges with a Dem dissenting(was that political?) and now has been accepted for appeal before the State Court of Criminal Appeals(or is this political?), the point being if we're going to say a legal decision by prosecutors or a court can be politically motivated then logic dictates it can be so in either direction depending on the politics of the prosecutors or judges, again what does that say about our system? [url]http://www.chron.com/news/article/Top-court-agrees-to-review-overturned-Tom-DeLay-5331253.php[/url] Last I saw Chris Christie and Walker are still under investigation. [url]http://news.firedoglake.com/2014/06/20/chris-christie-and-scott-walker-facing-criminal-investigations/[/url] Again my point would be that unless we add up every wrong act by those of either party we can't say for sure which is worse. And since we know there is wrong on both sides if legal issues are pursued or ignored/dismissed because of politics we have big problems and if there's no assurance of justice in these cases how can we assume there's justice in others?
