Question for conservatives?

Question

Find the "Paris justice" satisfatory?

Find the "Scooter justice" satisfactiory?

Please elaborate.
Please elaborate really well, add your personal touch here now. I'm really interested in your own particular take on how this law and order and justice stuff all really fits together now.

I'm a little enthusiastic we may get some interesting stuff here beyond a rubberized kind of lockstep thing/response.

Is there something sincere about law and order and justice anymore?

Personally, I think I'm probably going to feel a little angry about this news soon (mayby a lot angry) but I've just had a good day today -an unusually good day, in fact. And I haven't quite got angry about it yet. I thought I'd put up the question first.

I guess maybe I'd like to feel like I don't even HAVE to get angry about it. At least not for the next few days would be nice.

Okay p- me off. Okay, I can do it now.

I don't give a good God d- who the h- Clinton pardons a 100 times.

Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon, and he did it for a very specific reason, Ford was an honest man, I believe him and I accept his reason for pardoning Nixon.

The republican response to a Libby pardon is "Clinton this, Clinton that? Clinton Clinton Clinton?"

Can the republican sense of law and order and justice please be a little more sheepish today?

Apparently we don't even have the guts to atually PARDON him up there on p-avenue, were just "pulling a Paris" here.

And ol' scoot doesn't even so much as eat one bologna sandwich for having been convicted of lyingtoagrandjury.

Okay.
Bandaging a pathetically executed cause of war in lies lies and more lies is just fine by me?

But lying about something that goes lipsticking douwn your underwear, this is the point to go "mature" and make all the real political uproar about?

Where is the colective maturity age of

Ah, my love for Republicans is growing today.

now there's
just a simple honest answer.

If we had a lot of that I could have skipped the anger like I wished I would.
Alas, too late.

//"Paris and scooter cases were both rediculous."//

-Well there's another simple honest one, I was hoping for some kind of abundance of conservative sensible sentiment like that, simple or not.

Unfortunately we live in a country that mostly loves being astonishingly more corrupt with justice and power.

My optimism is not foolish, only a little excessive this evening.

Politics is like musical chairs with brain cells. There's smarts apparently. Just not enough to go 'round.

Some good answers.
Enough I'm glad I put the question.

"Paris let me start by.."
Now there's a tame answer I find reasonable -even with the Clinton suggestion-
An answerer who obviously cares a little about law/order/justice.
Sincere, consistently.

Answer 1

Paris was arrested for violating her probation by drinking and driving.
Scooter was convicted on a technicality over a crime that never occurred.

Answer 2

Paris: Let me start by saying I don't particularly like Paris. According to almost everyone in the LA legal system, Paris' sentence was about 3 times as long as anyone else with a similar offense. And, it's standard practice in the LA jail for people to be released after serving 10% of their sentence. The Sheriff let her go the first time after 5 days ... longer than the 10% (that would have been 2.5 days). Bottom line, she should have been sentenced to about one week, and actually serve 2-3 days to be equitable with everyone else.

Libby: Libby lied to a grand jury. He should have been convicted. So should have Bill Clinton. Bush should not have commuted the sentence. And, Clinton should have been removed from office. Lying to a grand jury is very serious. At least Clinton was disbarred and Libby is fined $250,000 and serving probation (Bush didn't wipe that away).

Answer 3

Paris did her time according to the judges ruling, no more, no less. The crappy thing is that it was head line news.

Scooter, I don't know enough to make a solid decision, but it seems like some kind of back scratching to me. Just a guess though.

Answer 4

I feel the same way about this as I did when Clinton pardoned over 100 people. Did you?
