Sirs, what do you think a felony is? You keep yelling it as if it is horrendous. What exactly do you think a felony is?
A permanent record, that influences EVERY subsequent job application one attempts to apply for. One has also lost the right to their 2nd amendment ability to keep and bear arms, prevented from aquiring certain licenses for a substantial period of time. He may even lose his right to vote. Not to mention the pshychological scar it places on the person & their family. You seem to keep minimizing it as if it's some incidental shoplifting of a candy bar. Why's that??
Do you know the difference in a misdemeanor and a felony?
Yea, do you? Besides the seriousness of the charge(s) involved and the substantially higher fines for felonies, what's your point?
Liddy's talk show is syndicated in 160 markets, he also frequently appears on Fox News. He's also acted in a few television shows.
I have yet to hear it, or even knew of that until this moment. I wonder how long it required for him to wait to get a broadcasting license, if one was involved. So, you advocating that Libby's new career be as a talk show host? and Actor? Oh wait, must apply the fairness doctrine. Before Libby can broadcast, must have a Democrat convicted of a felony. Perhaps William Jefferson of Louisiana. And of course you do realize I was largely referencing Public office. Of course it'd bode much better for Libby if he were a Democrat in this case, as apparently felonies and public office are no biggie on that side of the aisle.
Quarter of a million is still a Quarter of million
If you want to be technical, that statement isn't true (well, only for an instant in time). Though you justify it, the plain fact is that $250,000 is not coming out of Liddy's pocket. If he is truly being railroaded, then he can take civil action and recover more than $250,000.
You didn't appear to answer my question. If you believed someone was being absolutely railroaded and shafted, someone you knew well and respected, you wouldn't consider donating to their "defense fund", even if he had more money than you?? and yes, he could attempt to take civil action, however that little'ol measly FELONY conviction is likely to put a quick halt to that, wouldn't you think? Perhaps someone can provide us a list of those names who were convicted of a felony that was never overturned, and then won a civil case for being railroaded during that tiral they received their conviction in. Care to give it a go?
Still think it's no biggie??
In every case? Certainly not. In this case? Absolutely.
Hmmmmm, I can only imagine why
