Traficant ain't running for nothing, and especially from Ohio.

You must reside in the state from which you run. He wanted to go to Elkton, OH. He is in Pennsylvania now, where he's staying, unless he starts shooting off his mouth again, in which case he'll get diesel therapy.

Sorry Jim, prison life is like the military. You don't always get to pick your duty station and MOS.

Uh, then how do you expain THIS:

Constitutional experts say he could serve from another state. Federal courts have ruled that a person's residency is not determined by ``physical or legal compulsion'' -- such as a prison sentence.

If Traficant gets diesel or "bus" therapy he will soon behave better,ths's for sure.

Laugh if you like but dont think it cant happen to you.I really dont know if he is guilty or not but from all indications Torricella did as bad if not worse and he got a slap on the wrist.My problem is "Equal Justice Under The Law" and from first hand knowledge I know that doesnt happen.And contrary to what your Congress will do I will take a polygraph as to my statements.Those in control and mostly lawyers are controlling this country with an Iron Fist and they determine what is said and presented and what is or is not guilty.The American public has little to say about our system and the justice it despenses.Those in conrol are really the controlling legal authority Bill Clinton spoke of.

lol... funny! I'm not sure you're right though. He probably maintains Ohio as his official residence and regards the Pen as a temporary residence, kind of like when you're in the service. Not sure if we have an actual precedent for anything like this.

All I can say about Big Jim T. is that as an Ohioan, he's always been good for a laugh, he's given the Democrats fits by being uncontrollable, and he went to prison as a Democrat. I just can't see a dowside to this, except for Jim T, of course.

I'm surprised they did not ship him off to some gulag in Siberia. I suppose sending him to Pennsylvania served their purposes.

Terrible injustice that has taken place. Clearly a case of using the justice system to eliminate one's political opposition. So sad what has become of this country. Even sader the Republicans went along with it.
