An election's coming up. Want to become even more cynical -- or depressed -- about Congress?
Check out this opinion.
The Ninth Circuit affirms the conviction of former Arizona Congressman Richard Renzi.
Maybe this conviction was a big-ticket news item last year. But it's the first I've heard of it. Maybe it was big in Arizona but the news didn't leap that much across the Colorado. Or perhaps I'm simply uninformed.
But having now read what went down, I'm stunned. Truly. This is some bad stuff.
Very, very bad.
Three years in prison for Renzi seems pretty generous. And that's what he's going to spend.
