Before we cheer this as a victory, consider the following:

** The conviction was thrown out because he was tried in the incorrect state.

** Who and why was that decision made? Probable answers: Democrats and easier to get a conviction.

** Result: conviction and resignation of a Republican from Congress.

** what is the purpose of ‘Lawfare’? Answer: to gain political advantages for Democrats.

** was that goal attained? Answer: yes

** so who really won in this case?

It’s just nice to see the law followed. They may re-try him and even get a conviction. Who knows? In any event, if the government got it wrong, it’s nice to see the appellate court correct it. Nothing more, nothing less.
