PROSECUTING THE GOP
Townhall.com | 6/5/04 | Robert Novak

U.S. Attorney David Kelley of New York City, who has concentrated on prosecuting rich white-collar criminals, has been assigned to investigate the young Republican aide accused of reading confidential Democratic communications.

Manuel Miranda, who formerly advised Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist on judicial confirmations, was fired after he uncovered Democratic plans to scuttle President Bush's nominations. Sen. Orrin Hatch, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Frist refused to support Miranda.

Miranda, a young father and husband, is currently unemployed. While many conservatives consider him a hero for uncovering the plans revolving around Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Miranda now could face criminal prosecution.

Didn't Congress pass a whistle-blower law that would protect Miranda for exposing a criminal conspiracy?

Of course, you'd have to wonder why the Congress isn't going after the conspirators.

Piracy is not a black and white issue, and your Uncle Orrin wants to give the MPAA and RIAA permanent antitrust exemption and wants to allow the two organizations to hack into computers, including yours if they 'suspect' you of downloading music or movies. Those are both egregious violations of the law and reveal Hatch for the shill that he is.

Who's the punk-ass now? Hint: Look in the mirror.

Prosecuted for disclosing a PUBLIC email? OI agree, this is the kind of weak garbage that makes me apoplectic with the Rs. Good grief, if they don't have the constitution for being the party in power, get out of the way and let somebody who does take the helm. I don't agree with little Tommy Daschle, but honestly he's done a lot more with his power as minority leader than some of our Rs have with the majority.

You and the rest of the adolescent thiefs want your music free. Period.

Do you walk into 7-11 and take anything you want?

I hope the RIAA busts you hard.

Sorry if I have bumped this post, but you are a moron and a tool. Before you even think of trying to insult me, learn how to spell.
