We have endured poverty, with over 60% percent of Alabama children going hungry at some point during 2008. We have also endured failure in the realm of college football.

Facing a sentence of 20 additional years in prison recommended by Bush Justice Department holdovers, former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman has finally taken off the gloves against his prosecutors and the judge.

In the case of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman, Department of Justice officials look like they're exaggerating to block justice and to protect themselves.

The Bush era U.S. Attorney firing issue is anything but dead. The people who did Karl Rove's dirty work are still on the job right now because only a handful of the appointees have been replaced.

Rove's piece in the Wall Street Journal constitutes his latest non-denial about corrupt dealings with the Justice Department. The more he talks the more he suggests that he's guilty as sin.

Why are Holder and Obama not firing and replacing Bush appointees in the Department of Justice? America deserves the attorneys they voted for as part of the package in electing Obama.

How it's even possible that former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman's bribery case and conviction has not long ago been dropped by the Dept. of Justice is beyond us.

Ted Stevens never should have been prosecuted in 2008. Traditional media has done a pitiful job covering the many political prosecution stories that occurred during the Ashcroft/Gonzales years.

While the court threw out two counts of my politically-motivated prosecution and conviction, it upheld several others and have sent the case back to the district court for re-sentencing.

If the press conference today was any indication of what went on inside the Oval Office, there was never any reasoned debate regarding the issues.

Louis Franklin's indictment of Siegelman is a recurring stunt that you see over and over in Alabama and elsewhere in the South.

We know, based on definitive evidence, precisely how certain Bush appointees lied and colluded in order to subvert due process in the Siegelman trial.
