Sure Rep. Jefferson Is Scummy, but the Decision is Right

Here is an article about the 9th Circuit Court's decision regarding the raid of Rep. Jefferson's office (the Congressman from Louisiana). I really wanted to see Jefferson go down because he is clearly corrupt and a Democrat. I had hoped that he would not be reelected, but it is Louisiana after all.

Having said all of that, I was a little disturbed when the FBI raided his Congressional office. It was particularly troubling from a separation of powers standpoint. It seemed more than a little dangerous that the executive branch could indict and raid any Congressional office and collect any information that it wanted. This is even more true considering the abuse of power from the Bush Administration. It is good to see that the courts still can make good decisions.
