2) This is a misdemeanors crime at most. Any federal charges would be a stretch at best. The money laundering would be hard to prove seeing how he wasn't owner of the accounts the money moved to. I can't see a jury conviction on this one. The moving women across state lines thing is a law meant to stop "white" slavery. And has major jail time with it. Can anyone really say the guy deserves 10-12 years for this? Maybe if he killed one of the girls.

3) My original point remains true. This will be blown up and made into a greater deal then it was, because of party politics and media attention.

4)This is one of those "crimes" that doesn't affect anyone else except Spitzer, the hooker, and his family.(but not much more than if he just cheated)

5)Most of this victimless "crime", (ie. prostitution, most drug use, gambling, etc) are only crimes because someone is imposing their morals on someone else. (see prohibition, that worked well, as is the "war on drugs"

6) The fact this guy was a dem, doesn't matter to me I didn't think Larry Craig deserved to lose his job either. But leave to some, who wanted to turn everything I say into ,"your just mad because he is a dem" and make personal insults at me.

Another attorney with a J.D. from "Law & Order: SVU." How's it working for you?

I frankly don't have the time to address each asinine point by itself, but #5 stands out as the dumbest one here.

Every law is an imposition of morals. Murder and rape are illegal because the majority has decided it's immoral and we won't tolerate it.

Wake up.
