That's a big deal, though I can see it wouldn't be to many of the democrats who use the courts to obstruct democracy---locally in trying to overturn the 2001 city council elections, and nationally in their efforts to keep Ralph Nader's name off the Presidential ballot. > > By lifting the opposing party's literature and calling for early city council elections to get the greens out (BTW, I'm not a member of the Green party), "Representative" Kahn is telling us that we should only have a one-party system. That, in my book, shows a serious ethical deficet. > Dorie writes: Remember the House of Representive Bertstram (don't know how to spell his name and will not take the time to look it up) from Princeton who stolen a leather vest from a clothing store and was convicted? The DFL had control of the House at the time..they chose to keep this dude in tact so they would not lose control of the House. Everyone gave long speeches on how horrible they felt, lowest day of their careers, persuasive sob fest..I watched and remembered each one of those politicians saying to myself...if you, Mr/Mrs.politician don't have the guts to stand up and do what is right...I will never cast a vote your way; I never have voted for any of them nor will I. So it is not that we are missing the point, we all know what she did, we all know what is right, what is wrong ... judgement can be made at the ballot box and not on a forum. It is up to her voters to make the decision if they want her back or not. We should be worrying about the seedy and needy ethics in Minneapolis.
