I don't favor railroading MS or anybody else, but I do favor convicting and jailing her, if the evidence shows she knowingly obstructed justice and/or acted to inflate her own stock. If there's insifficient evidence, she should walk.

Meanwhile, I don't think I agree that this is merely an effort to legitimate Wall Street. It might have that side-effect to some degree, but I think Stewart belongs in the dock, based on what she did. The ladder of law does not reach to the very top. That, IMHO, does not legitimize sawing it down even lower. We should be clamoring to try the really big boys, as you say. And Martha could help them decorate their cells and make canapes from their Spam rations.

Martha's latest saying: "Parole: It's a good thing."
