"...now faces up to 16 years behind bars and $35,000 in fines. He also must give up his political office."

What a fool to go to trial. If he had plead, he's be facing a few months in JAIL, versus PRISON just like the DEMOCRATS that were charged with the exact same FELONIES, and now can spend their evenings in jail and still work their day jobs.

Spoke with my friend Randy yesterday. He's a Republican staffer at the Capitol in Madison, WI and has known Jensesn for ages. He said Jensen was totally railroaded because he was a threat to the WI Dems. They pulled out all the stops and sacrificed a few of their own to get rid of Jensen. (Jensen's the one responsible for the turn around and our Republican Majority in the WI Assembly and Senate.)

Of course I'm less than pleased as how my tax dollars have been used in this manner by BOTH parties, but it's pretty obvious what the end goal was here.

"Sorry for the Late Ping," Ping! You all probably know how this turned out already, but I said I'd follow up. :)

Absolutely no sympathy from here.

Too bad they did away with chain gangs.

Jeeez, many rapists, robbers and arsonists don't even get that much time, these days. Dumbass for doing it, though.

As Belling pointed out on his show the other day, Jensen was going to be found guilty in Madison for the same reason the tire slashers in Milwaukee essentially walked.

It's a good thing John Conyers is a Democrat and does not have to worry about prosecution for even worse abuse of power. The judcial system is MOSTLY a one way street.

Well we can perform a bit of political dialectical synthesis with this news and recent history. Wisconsin might have recently passed the Personal Protection Act but for craven political considerations, one of which is the prohibition of felons being armed. I wonder how this politician will feel being disbarred his 2A Right.

What is a felon/felony in Wisconsin? In another state you are disbarred from being armed if you were liable for felony level punishment. That is, a felony may be (is in some state) a crime punishable by a term of one year of incarceration and you need not be sentenced to the year but only liable.

Once we step onto the slope of infringement we are entangled by our cowardice.

Democrats, Republicans and the media are America's cacocracy.
