When Politicians Commit Crimes, They Must be Punished
salon.com — The idea that the Rule of Law is only for common people, but not for our political leaders and Washington elite, is pervasive in both parties. While common Americans should be imprisoned when they break the law, the worst that should happen to the political elite when they commit crimes is that they should be voted out of office.

- MarianaPeyton, on 07/19/2008, -25/+14I completely agree with the article. It is absolutely ridiculous that several members of the US government (including President Bush) should be judged for their crimes (read torture).
- TecK415, on 07/19/2008, -9/+25I think you mean it's ridiculous that they are not judged for their crimes.
Or, do you really think it's ridiculous that they should be judged for their crimes? - SteveSgt, on 07/20/2008, -0/+3Sarcasm and irony do not Digg well.

- adayahead, on 07/19/2008, -11/+28A well-written brief review of the sad state of political affairs in the U.S. Anyone who ever claimed an opinion based on what the "founding fathers" intended should think about this issue, and its predecessor issue. That we need to have conversations about prosecuting our elected leaders for war crimes; that a high-ranked Justice Department official can advocate and defend torture and then return to his post at a law school in - of all place - what we in the Bay lovingly refer to as the People's Republic of Berkeley; all of this shows how much we need to remember (metaphorically of course) http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/96oct/obrien/blo ... that the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of liberty.
A must read for anyone who cares about reclaiming the future of our country.- govsucks, on 07/20/2008, -7/+16Well that's hard to do considering most people in this nation no longer believe in liberty but instead just the opposite, slavery to the collective. Telling people you shall not be free to choose your health care provider or you shall not be free to choose how your retirement is saved and invested for is hardly liberty. To FORCE people to participate in things like universal health care and social security is hardly liberty. Closer to reality, it is a mob of people who force the minority to serve their ends but it is not even close to liberty. So good luck getting the folks on digg to choose liberty over the nanny state. Diggers scream about turning over more control of our lives to government through health care and various other things and then complain that the government is overstepping its bounds by listening to their phone calls. Yes that's right, they turn over control of their LIFE to government and then complain that government listens to their plans for Saturday night....real liberty lovers these guys.
- xexx, on 07/20/2008, -2/+1Yes, because all americans are brilliant and when given the choice will invest their money wisely in health care and savings accounts instead of beer, blow, and nagging bitches. For every 1 person who invests wisely and plans correctly, there's 3 who'll screw up and do tons of stupid ***** only to end up in the same slavery to the corporations, only much worse off.
Welcome to reality.

- DangerCollie, on 07/20/2008, -11/+2I agree with you but are there enough people who do care to make a difference? I look around here. You could buy most people's vote for a five dollar gas coupon. If you promised them unlimited gas for their 4 wheelers for life you could probably get them to sign an indentured slavery agreement.
I'm wondering if the US still deserves the freedoms it seems to hold in such light regard.
- oldgal, on 07/20/2008, -2/+4We have total liberty to elect criminals...obviously. When we reelect criminals, then are we not complicit in the crime? From a more practical viewpoint, the line of succession to president precludes impeachment in this instance. I am all for prosecuting after the fact if we can do it without getting our panties all in a bunch and distracting from the serious clean up and problem solving work that needs to be done.
- kd1s, on 07/20/2008, -0/+1In the case of Bush I have some faith that he'll not be on the talk circuit once he leaves office but instead on trial at the Hague for war crimes. That would be a start, no get out of jail free card in essence.

- jbenson2, on 07/19/2008, -8/+57Nancy Pelosi must be punished.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 07/20/2008, -13/+5Nancy Pelosi is a disappointment for NOT punishing others who committed crimes. Leading with Nancy Pelosi, however, is a joke, and belittles the achievements of the real criminals.
- lead2thehead, on 07/20/2008, -2/+13Oh, I could name LOTS of other reasons for why Nancy Pelosi is a disappointment.
- CryRightardCry, on 07/21/2008, -8/+1@lead2thehead
Most reasons to bitch about Pelosi are her NOT standing up to Bush.
- Elranzer, on 07/20/2008, -6/+2Nancy Pelosi is a traitor to the Democratic party. Karl Rove is a traitor to this whole country.
- captZEEbo, on 07/21/2008, -6/+3probably obvious, but my first priority is bush and cheney

- rearlgrant, on 07/19/2008, -12/+6That was a great source. It explained something to me....
Republicans do pander to polls when it comes to the Constitution b/c "the Constitution doesn't poll well."
Rich! - DeskFlyer, on 07/20/2008, -9/+13Since I think we already agree on this, a better article would have been to describe how this will actually be accomplished. With the joke of a Congress we have now, this is not possible.
- ranirastabout, on 07/20/2008, -10/+6Agreed. It's all to you, people! Punish Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove, then go after their profiteer friends.
- PeppermintPig, on 07/20/2008, -8/+7Yes. That's the question. When the politicians write the laws to immunize themselves from the system they run, why trust the same system to bring about criminal resolution?
Are you willing to establish and/or support a criminal justice procedure that lies outside the confines of US law? - trippinlikegod, on 07/20/2008, -10/+1Absolutely. We call it a hanging where I come from.

- Qtip42, on 07/20/2008, -8/+2Maybe politicians should have their salary based on performance. At least you can hit them where it hurts if they lie to get into their position.
- felman87, on 07/20/2008, -7/+6We should vote bi-annually on the salary of our congressmen. There, problem solved. It's stupid to have them in control of their own pay. It's OUR money!!
- hugolp, on 07/20/2008, -6/+10Will never happen. They will promise the promise land before letting the people touch their salary. Plus, politicians legal salary is just a tiny part of the politicians real salary.
- Murdats, on 07/20/2008, -6/+6then they will just run to the companies to get their money.
oh wait, they already do. - warriormonk, on 07/20/2008, -7/+5I agree with Murdats. Politicians don't run for office b/c of the salary; they do it b/c they know they can score much more cash from corporations, PACs, and other donors. I've heard others suggest term limits, but the problem there is that you have a ton of unelected bureaucrats who operate behind the scenes. IMHO you need to ditch those people too and start fresh. Of course this will never happen, but it's nice to fantasize.

- BradBrown, on 07/20/2008, -8/+6"I am a Salon.com writer with a liberal bent. On Saturday nights, I hang out at the local B&D club and receive whippings from Dominatrix Helga. Sometimes, my peccadilloes spill over into my writing. If you read between the lines in this article, what I'm trying to say is that I'd like to see George Bush bound, and muted with a ball gag, while Hillary Clinton whips him with a belt and asks "Who's America's favorite? My article is clearly a push for more B&D activity among politicians."
- CryRightardCry, on 07/21/2008, -9/+1@bradbrown
Thanks for that, we knew there was a rightard shill going to the club, but with you "All Bottom" mask on they didn't recognize you.
I realize you are just another rightard *****, and all you have is personal attacks on the authors you don't agree with, but why don't you TRY to address the point, which is that the administration you have shilled for has committed crimes.
I guess since you have been a mindless cheerleader for all these actions you feel you need to change the subject so you don't have to dwell on how YOU were involved.
As a shill for crimes you must feel partly responsible, right?
LOL
Rightards feeling responsible for their own actions!! I crack myself up.
But of course that speaks directly to the heart of the matter: these cowardly rightards CANNOT accept responsiblity for what hey have done.
So you are a Bush lover. We get it.
Are you too cowardly to enlist? There is nothing more disgusting than a warmonger too ***** to actually enlist.
- neozeed, on 07/20/2008, -9/+4Who are they kidding? lol, turdblossom will never face the noose of freedom!
- lamiaconfitor, on 07/20/2008, -8/+3RE: The title; I think its hilarious that anyone would suggest otherwise. Clean house. If anyone sincerely thinks that their actions breaking the law were justified, they should be happy to suffer the consequences... and, in fact, invite the consequences.
- felman87, on 07/20/2008, -3/+12If only such a thing were possible. A lot of Americans have such a black and white view of things that they can't contemplate multiple party politics.
- portnoy, on 07/20/2008, -10/+24This is all totally absurd. Our leaders have to be MORE legally accountable for their crimes than ordinary citizens, not less. How many of us have access to such a large number of legal experts to keep us on the "straight and narrow" as the president and his administration have? Bush's entire administration needs to face the courts for their actions, first in this country for their crimes against America and then in the Hague for their crimes against the world.
- goffy59, on 07/20/2008, -18/+6***** America!
- OC73, on 07/20/2008, -9/+11Spoken like a true leftist.
- trippinlikegod, on 07/20/2008, -11/+2Why does everything have to be black and white with you? Should we alI assume you are a rightist by your snide condescending comment or act like adults and realize that goffy and yourself are both people who make their own choices based on what they feel?
- LukasSmith, on 07/20/2008, -18/+10Buried as lame. There is no concrete evidence of wrongdoing by Bush. Just ask your Messiah Obama. He has already stated several times that if he is elected president he will search for evidence and if good evidence is found start an investigation. Notice the part where he uses the future tense, as in he has no great proof now. If the almighty Obama doesn't have proof of some grand crime conspiracy at this point in time why the ***** should I believe you do? You are just nuts.
P.S don't you think that if the Democrats had this great proof available to them of crimes they would use it against Bush? How can you trust them if they don't use it? Oh that's right. You are sheep.- aurorous, on 07/20/2008, -2/+2Your only half right. democrats are unlikely to to go after Bush for war crimes even he's gone... but real reason is they're just as complicit in those crimes. For all their promises to stand up against Bush every single time the chips are down they cave and give him exactly what he want. For all they're attacks and criticisms on him the Democrats sure love going along with him.
- palewook, on 07/20/2008, -6/+13Politicians in America aren't held accountable for their actions. Instead they get kickback job titles as payoffs for what they did while in office. The higher profile ex-politicians get book deals or tour the public speaking circuit.
Few ever serve 1 day in a jail. - drape, on 07/20/2008, -8/+7Anyone who could and would requires high qualifications for respectability. And anyone who wants to attain that high qualifications will have to conform to the status quo in the first place.
Its a closed circle where those who were in power want to be in power forever. In this world now, that power cannot be earned, it has to be seized. - crackberri, on 07/20/2008, -21/+8Sorry Hitler lovers, buried as spam………..
- nickspm, on 07/20/2008, -11/+10There is always a good chance that accountability and retribution will come from outside the confines of the power elite, i.e., the peasants are at the gates.
- Hangly, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1In a sense, that's the only real corrective force on the system.
- brainscab, on 07/20/2008, -9/+11The king and his court are not above the law... unless you have a spineless congress
- trippinlikegod, on 07/20/2008, -8/+13Or a spineless nation.
- phogasmic, on 07/20/2008, -8/+10I am not surprised that politicians on both side think that they should be above the law, but I am absolutely disgusted that this idea is so persuasive in Washington. F*** harmony! There may be harmony in Washington because they are ignoring Bush's crime but there isn't harmony for the people being tortured here, or the people being tortured in other countries because the US has made torture acceptable..... We have fallen so far under Bush, its so sad.

- Hangly, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1(psst, these people aren't real.)
- PepeGSay, on 07/20/2008, -10/+7The real reason is that the discussion of Bush being "lawless" and "breaking the law" is political rhetoric. So, they can't be held accountable for breaking laws, since they haven't actually broken any. People don't like what he has done. Congress wants political power. You demonize the president and call him a "law breaker" so that the whole thing cements in people's skulls the way you want to, even if the whole "law breaking" thing is nothing more than hyperbole.
Also, guess what politicians do get to do things we can't. They make laws, and declare war. There is *some* difference in what they can and what we can't, whether you like it or not. They do deserve some insulation. Their responsibilities, in many cases, are far more far reaching than ours. If a "good" war breaks out you don't want the next president bound by the same retarded ideals you all want to hold Bush too.- WallyAnti, on 07/20/2008, -8/+6I'm sorry but if someone is being extremely secretive about just about everything and starts deleting electronic and paper trails, I just assume they are guilty, especially if they have motive. If it quacks like a duck...
- spongya77, on 07/20/2008, -3/+6Well, technically speaking the leaders of Nazi Germany did not break any laws. All the crimes against peace, humanity, and all was retroactive that they were hanged for.
The problem is that these laws ARE valid, like it or not. Launching war on false pretenses, invading another country, ordering torture, illegal wiretaps (I'm not sure if you know the meaning of "illegal"), exposing CIA covert agents, and the list is really long, are against the law, international, and domestic. Because, guess what? The international laws are just as binding to the USA as any other country.
- DopplerDuck, on 07/20/2008, -8/+2I live in a country where membership of parliament is entrepreneurship.
- denizen42, on 07/20/2008, -8/+1We live in a country where nothing isn't.
- WallyAnti, on 07/20/2008, -8/+10So let me get this straight. Prison is a deterrent, but only for civilians. Sorry, but I don't buy it. If Ford wanted the nation to "move on" I think we should have made a great spectacle of what happens when you betray your nation so obviously. In my mind the pardoning of Nixon is the reason we have the situation we have now where almost every American doesn't trust the government to tell them the truth. Why should they tell the truth. They have no incentive to do so.

"The Iron Law of Oligarchy
Some authors, such as Vilfredo Pareto, Gaetano Mosca, Thomas R. Dye, and Robert Michels, believe that any political system eventually evolves into an oligarchy. This theory is called the "iron law of oligarchy". According to this school of thought, modern democracies should be considered as elected oligarchies. In these systems, actual differences between viable political rivals are small, the oligarchic elite impose strict limits on what constitutes an 'acceptable' and 'respectable' political position, and politicians' careers depend heavily on unelected economic and media elites.
The historian Spencer R. Weart in his book Never at War argues that oligarchies rarely make war with one another." - rybiideeg, on 07/20/2008, -9/+0i think that that is why people like to live in america
they both could find justices -- in crimes -- and they get to vote too
but seriously speaking
the reason why america is a clean nation is due to it diversities of good and bad and clean and dirty people
they are like clorox -- if too much -- they irritate -- if too little -- no power -- if not rinse well -- it irritates -- if not rinse at all -- it could kill
but then there are smart lawyers and america
america even as associate non profit groups -- they get to play advocates for the crp
so if you have seen a crime -- report it -- there are rewards in some cases
but if a politician did a crime --
let us be honest -- and let us just say -- that america is not a crook
we just need honest advocates
no punn done - billfisher, on 07/20/2008, -2/+12I can't take credit for this statement, but I believe in it wholeheartedly: Individuals who are voted or appointed into a public position hold the peoples utmost trust, crimes committed by that person should be contain a sentencing structure 3x worse then the current minimum for that crime.
i.e.
Theft: 1-3 years
Public official theft: 3-9 years
These individuals have they're own "old-boy" networks and until "We the People" stand up and force more accountability, we are allowing them their "old-boy" network.- Hangly, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1In China if a public official is convicted of official corruption they execute him.
I think that's a little extreme, but it's better than doing nothing.
- Hangly, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1In China if a public official is convicted of official corruption they execute him.
- spongya77, on 07/20/2008, -4/+10This is a blatant disregard for the rule of law. Taking this argument -just vote out those who commit crimes, or wait for them to leave- would lead to the following results: the whole Nuremberg-trials were a mistake. First of all, most of the laws those people broke WEREN'T EVEN LAWS at the time. Second: sure they did some evil *****, but as politicians, it should be enough for them to make them leave office. After all, the Nazi party was democratically elected. All the extra powers Hitler and his cronies held would have to have been revoked after the war, restoring the republic, and simply hold another election.
That is the logical result of this thinking.
No one should be above the law. Especially when human lives (OK, I admit, NOT American ones) are lost as a consequence. People in Washington should be held responsible for the pain and suffering they wreak upon the world, from the Americas to the Middle East. Everybody, from the architects of the Iranian coup to the architects of the Iraq war should be put to trial. Otherwise the US cannot masquerade as the upholder of moral values and international law. Only as a big bully that everybody's so scared of that they do not dare to call what he is. - Godwhacker, on 07/20/2008, -2/+2Glenn Greenwald for Attorney General!!!

The law apparently did not apply to Bubba.
- SatoriSeeker, on 07/20/2008, -1/+2Please evolv.. err intelligently design a few ***** brain cells you Fox Newsophile. Way to fall for the sham media and the paid blowhards who retire to multimillion dollar homes after a hard days work of convincing common people in party A to stay angry at the common people in party B so they discover it's really US (the ruled) vs them (the rulers) and not Red vs Blue.
- bobbi21, on 07/20/2008, -0/+2Man, listen to republicans attack clinton on this is like listening to Hitler attack some dumb kid for littering. Yeah, Clinton lied (about a personal issue but yeah still lied), and should go to jail for that. Bush lied like a hundred times over and his lies were in an attempt to kill millions of people.
Seriously. Bible quote time "Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye". There's a bleeding forest in bush's eye yet you're complaining about this splinter. Sure pretty much every politician should be in jail for some crime and we all know it. But we have to start somewhere and I would start at arresting the orchestrator of mass murders over the 80% of men who cheat on their wives and lie about it (usually not to a federal Grand Jury but the fact that it got that far is already ridiculous and I think you get my point anyway).
- mrmudgeon, on 07/20/2008, -2/+2This sentiment seems to happen when one group of politicians and the public are miffed at another. It is simply impossible to be president (and probably a Congessman also) and not "break the law". If a politician enriches him or herself using their office, by all means lets prosecute.
If we start jailing folks for their conduct as piliticians, we will not have our democracy very long. The people in power would simply jail the strong members of the opposition.
I assume that the man who wrote this article is not terribly concerned with democracy and allowing us to pick which cretins will run the country. - mt1955, on 07/20/2008, -0/+3Shall I tell you what the real evil is? To cringe to the things that are called evils, to surrender to them our freedom, in defiance of which we ought to face any suffering.
- Lucius Annaeus Seneca - bshock, on 07/20/2008, -0/+7I would argue that politicians who commit crimes should receive far more severe punishments than ordinary criminals. When a man robs a liquor store, he hurts only a handful of people. When a politician robs the taxpayers, he may hurt thousands or millions.
Or to be more Stan Lee about it, with great power comes great responsibilty, and when you abuse great power, you deserve great penalties. - dupswapdrop, on 07/20/2008, -0/+2Anyone who is in a position of public trust that commits a crime should be punished severely. In this day and age most of these people get off with out so much as a slap on the wrist!

Wheres the investigation into this murder?!
Its well known by many people that in the 1970's bush took his girlfriend over the texas state line to have an abortion. however, christians don't care when their rich republican friends have abortions. it's only when the poor and minorites have abortions that they scream and cry pro-life.
Remember, abortion was illegal at this time in Texas, which makes the crime MURDER! So wheres the justice?!

- randumbusername, on 07/21/2008, -1/+1how about not giving them so much power in the first place. go back to the constitution or abolish the whole federal system is my preference ( im not a fan of govt at any level but ill compromise).
hell you should be proud of bush. bush woke people up for the first time in a long time to government. bush main fault is he's not as slick with his ***** as other politicians people hold in high regard.... most never notice. if every politician got the scrutiny bush gets you find most of them are looking out for numero uno. most of them say what is "politically correct" and get passed over.
