I think there's a critical flaw in your logic. I think its the difference between theory and practice. The rule of law applies to little folks like you and I; and does not appear to apply to the oligarchy. Until the law applies to everyone equally, I'm more than happy to find satisfaction in the vigilantes. Too big to jail FTW...

They should either lose elections, or they should end up in a criminal court and given a fair trial, no matter *how* big a scum they are.

" If nothing else, remember that most of them have families that will grieve. Those politicians need to lose an election. Not a life." Can't agree more! Michael P.

Would you bestow honors on the guys who stopped John Hinkly Jr before he managed to get another bullet into Reagan? How about if somebody had stopped Lee Harvey Oswald or the guys who shot Ghandi and Benazir Bhutto? Yes, many of them *are* corrupt, but jumping from there to "Every single one of them is so corrupt that they don't deserve an attempt to stop an assassination" shows something pretty sad about you. If nothing else, remember that most of them have families that will grieve. Those politicians need to lose an election.
