The heat is on? or off?

Why is our legislature so worried about our Honorable Attorney General doing his job? Don’t you realize that he cannot prosecute a crime unless sufficient evidence has been presented before a judge to establish probable cause?

After all, didn’t we elect the best man to be our Attorney General? Don’t we trust him to do his job? Isn’t Paul Morrison dedicated to pursuing criminals wherever they are, regardless of their campaign contributions and political leanings? Isn’t Paul Morrison an honorable man who told us through his campaign ads that he would apply the law equally to everyone?

Why do you think that we have to mandate to Paul Morrison to do his job?

What? Oh, you mean there WAS a finding of probable cause in front of a judge? You mean that one of Morrison’s biggest supporters, the one he stopped the investigation and prosecution of, really might need to go before a jury to find out if he violated on numerous occasions Kansas state law?

I just cannot believe that a highly regarded doctor (if you don’t believe me, just ask him, he’ll verify his greatness) might actually be guilty of criminal violations? No!!! It can’t be! Wouldn’t Paul Morrison put his honor and duty to the state of Kansas above his political views?

Say it ain’t so!

So if there is a finding of probable cause that a crime (or 31 crimes) had been committed, why don’t certain segments of our political spectrum want to investigate and pursue the person alleged to have committed these crimes? Isn’t that a basic tenet of honor? To respect the law?
Or are those dollar signs that float towards certain parties every campaign season more important than doing what is right?

Finish the investigation, if the evidence warrants it (which at least one judge has already determined), hold a trial, and let the jury determine if Dr. Tiller is innocent or guilty of the charges.

Paul Morrison has already shown his integrity in the manner in which he has treated this case, thus I recommend that he appoint an independent counsel to pursue this prosecution to ensure that both the state and the defendant have the best possible chances at trial.

Mr. Morrison, if you can’t do it for human babies (as we are talking about LATE term abortion here of near fully formed fetuses), then do it for your own respect and honor.
