Modern Justice

Steal a little and they'll throw you in jail...steal a lot, and they'll make you King...or at least try to appoint you head of DHS.

While it's nice to see the SCOTUS make a decision that ratifies, in at least some way, shape or form, rule of law, you've gotta wonder about the quality of justice when:

Looters stealing beer, wine, and liquor get 15 years, but

Bernard Kerik, who used his position in Rudy Guiliani's administration to "accept tens of thousands of dollars worth of gifts and a loan" gets no jail time (though, admittedly, a pretty stiff fine).

This is not to justify or defend looters: if they're guilty, then punish them. But you can't tell me justice is blind if a person who stole a hell of a lot more gets to walk, even if he's looking at a six figure judgement.
