I'm with sarge on this one. If this guy was taking bribes and a warrent was issued, case closed. Who the hell keeps money in their freezer except a guilty man?
But I understand how the unprecedented actions are making people nervous. And was it truely constitutional??? Quote:
Authorities said it was the first time the FBI had raided the office of a sitting congressman.
Legal experts were divided on the legality and propriety of the FBI's raid, but many said that it could raise serious evidentiary problems for prosecutors at trial. In scores of cases of alleged congressional wrongdoing, federal prosecutors and FBI agents have most commonly sought to issue subpoenas for documents rather than conducting an impromptu raid on congressional property, experts said.
Former House speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), in an e-mail to colleagues with the subject line "on the edge of a constitutional confrontation," called the Saturday night raid "the most blatant violation of the Constitutional Separation of Powers in my lifetime." He urged President Bush to discipline or fire "whoever exhibited this extraordinary violation"

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.
