Can someone tell me how justice is served if Scott Jensen gets 15 months in jail, but Chuck Chvala only got nine months in jail despite crimes of a far more egregious nature?
And if having staffers of politicians do “political” work while getting paid by the taxpayers is “ethically bankrupt” as Judge Ebert put it, does this make those who advocate complete public funding of political campaigns to be true moral degenerates? Should we lock them up, too? Or perhaps create a “campaign public financing” registry for offenders belonging to Common Cause?
By the way, Rick Esenberg has a great post explaining all of the problems with the Jensen sentence. He explains in clear detail why regardless of political persuasion everyone should be concerned with the sentence Jensen received.
