Politics and the criminal law...

Thanks to the republicans, it's time to completely abandon the pretense that the law is blind to the parties it judges:

"In Texas, state Republican legislative leaders and party officials are considering some maneuvers of their own in light of the investigation. One proposal would take authority for prosecuting the campaign finance case away from the Democratic district attorney in Austin and give it to the state attorney general, a Republican."
