So should the prosecutor in the Cheney case do jail time for misconduct?

According to Yahoo news:

"Some attorneys argued that Banales may not have the authority to schedule an arraignment because the indictments were invalid. One lawyer said Guerra never should have been allowed to present the cases to the grand jury because at least four of the indictments deal with people who had some role in the investigation of his office last year.

"He is the witness, the victim and the prosecutor," said the attorney for Mervyn Mosbacker Jr., a former U.S. attorney who was appointed special prosecutor to investigate Guerra."

A prosecutor going after those who investigated him. Way to go!

    I think so, but then, you know our judicial system is no longer about finding and implementing justice, but about making scores, no matter how we do it. What I think is obscene is that no one stopped him before he made the indictment, and nobody seems to think this an unconscionable misuse of his position. If it were a Democrat he was pillorying, you can bet someone would have objected.

    And that is just wrong, on so many points it makes a sane person's head spin. This country, and many of its institutions, is so overrun with corruption and private finagling that I don't see how it can go on much longer. Just wish I knew what could be done to fix it, barring a massive nuclear strike. And even that, while it might solve the problem, would do much more damage to the decent people who are already being victimized by the systems originally installed to provide for our common defense, promote our general welfare, and preserve for us and our posterity the benefits of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

    It is time to change, for the good of the people.

    One could hope that Guerra and Cheney would share a cell.
