Re: Supreme Court rules against AG Kathleen Kane; leaves open possibility
It seems that she is toast at this point. I wish they would let the legal system deal with this before we put someone's head on a spike and parade it through the streets. We are a bit too eager to destroy people before we know the whole truth, IMO. No wonder no regular person wants anything to do with politics.

Plenty of 'regular people' want to, and do participate in politics. But, at the state and federal levels, you pretty much have to be a millionaire just to have a serious shot, so right up front all of the 'regular people' are priced out.

It seems that MANY issues nowadays are tried in the press and the court of public opinion vs waiting for the results of the legal system.

Re: Supreme Court rules against AG Kathleen Kane; leaves open possibility
I wouldn't say Kane should resign since she hasn't been proven to have done anything illegal.
That said, the fact that there is such a focus on Kane tells me that she is not serving the office of the people of the commonwealth well. Regardless of how all of this plays out, I would hope Kane wouldn't run again in 2016 and if she did, I couldn't cast a vote for her a second time.

When I pressed the button beside Kane in 2012 it was not a vote for her so much as it was a vote against Kelly & Corbett and the way that Corbett had deliberately stalled the Sandusky prosecution until he was safely in the Governor's mansion. I know that from one of the top prosecutors of the case.
For the same reason, my vote for Governor last year was not a vote for Wolf even though his was the name that I selected.

Re: Supreme Court rules against AG Kathleen Kane; leaves open possibility
Except that Ron Miller was not evil in any sense of the word.
A lot of people were offended when the GOP establishment started running "millionaire transhman" ads; but those came after weeks of a steady barage of laminated 8 1/2 x 11 broadsides from Wagner. Intially I got one every couple days, then the pace picked up to one a day and sometimes more than one each day (that's what you get for being one of those coveted "supervoters").
Frankly, for a while I was wondering why Ron Miller was in this fight with at least one hand behind his back. But when the gloves finally came off the public perception was that he was the bad guy.
Sheesh!

True, Tarnation. Ron Miller was an incumbent and people were so angry with politics in general that they threw out the baby with the bathwater as they say. From people I've talked to, they said they wanted to send a message. Now they are kicking themselves for who they voted in.

Good article. I hope she sticks it out to the end, no matter what the outcome.
