BYOB?  If you mean Stevens, his conviction is kinda like when they put Al Capone away for tax evasion.  It's kinda ezwater New

To me, it's a matter of principle.  Don't care what he's done (good or bad) as a senator. Rahark1 New

Not bitching about Stevens, my disgust is towards those who honored him. Rahark1 New

They were cheering because it was the last speech they would have to sufffer through <NT> jkodadek New

Hey,  I don't like the guy or have sympathy for him.  But maybe we should not call people felons who are not.   <NT> ckelly New

So all we`re waiting for is the sentencing date, to be able to call him a felon, kinda just a technicality isn`t it?... rbowman New

One possibility is that the judge could suspend imposition of sentence. ckelly New

That`s what I was wondering. Since he is no longer in Congress, I hope he doesn`t do any time.... rbowman New
