Quote for the Day

"Make no mistake: the real reason why Congress is so concerned about the raid on Jefferson’s office is that many of them know that corruption within Congress is rampant. If the FBI and the Justice Department can start getting serious about investigating corruption in Congress, many of their colleagues (and possibly they themselves) could be next. Is it any accident, do you think, that instead of trumpeting corruption by a Democratic Congressman, Speaker Hastert – who himself is rumored to be under investigation in the Abramoff affair – is objecting loudly to the search of Jefferson’s office?" – Jack Balkin, on his blog.
