On Tuesday U.S. District Judge James Zagel will resentence disgraced former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The hope here is that Zagel offers as stiff a sentence as the law allows, sending a message to other would-be elected miscreants that there’s a steep price to pay for your greed.
In his defense, Blago has offered numerous written testimonials from fellow prisoners ascribing the many kindnesses the former governor has bestowed on his fellow felons. So it would seem he has, at last, found his true calling. Why take him away from that which he is so clearly called?
Read the editorial, which goes into far greater depth on this case and the reasons the punishment must fit the crime.
