The reaction of some to Rep. Kahn's "crime" brings to mind the old statement about making a "federal case" out of something very petty. And those who are making a big too-do out of this are making a VERY big deal out of something that's very petty. And I'm sure that in addition to the fine that she had to pay, that the personal embarrassment to someone who really is an honest and ethical person probably seems to her like having to do some time in a federal joint. Rep. Kahn is also one of the most effective legislators at the Lege now or at any time in the state's history. She has a comprehensive understanding of the issues and the process.
I'd really suggest that we all get off her back now and get back to matters of electing a lot more legislators like her (even if they also have some fallible sides too) to eliminate those in the Lege now who want to use government against the people.
