That just generally sounds like a recipe for abuse...and in this case was a recipe for abuse. It's amazing how this outrage comes when a prominent Republican is facing jail time.

Wait a second... no, I guess it really isn't.

Though I wish all these folks would come out of the woodwork when ordinary people are giving longer jail sentances because the judges decided that their perjury hurt the prosecution's (or even worse, defense's) case.
