Message: [QUOTE="BSWIFT, post: 700022, member: 16802"] The real justice will be seen Jan. 20th.  I heard the story on the news this evening and remembered it being discussed here on DRN.  I'm not surprised by the verdict but I'm afraid that the punishment will be quite lame.   Indeed, this man has served his state while blatantly disobeying the law he was sworn to uphold but therein lies the paradox.  In Oklahoma, a state legislator cannot be delayed or detained while traveling TO an official meeting @ the state capital.  These legislators are issued special license plates to signify they are state reps.  When law enforcement encounter these elected officials traveling 30 mph over the speed limit, they let them go.  Several have been stopped and CHARGED with Driving Under the Infulence and the cases were scuttled.  I [I][B][U]hope[/U][/B][/I] that this former governor will receive[B] appropriate[/B] sentancing.  [/QUOTE]
