I hope Siegelman's case serves as a warning for the next 50 years of how fragile our system of justice is and how easily it can be twisted into an instrument of political power. Do I think Rove will ever be called to account for this? No, not really. But if we can prevent this kind of abuse from happening again, then Rove loses and the country wins. It's a tragedy that Siegelman had to lose his political life in the process.
