On one newspaper piece made the argument this indictment went way beyond just the Speaker, but Alabama political royalty. A commenter to the story made a great suggestion:
“I’d like to see a politician serve time in an Alabama prison, not a federal prison. Let them deal with the brutal guards, medical neglect, and crappy food.
Matter of fact, I think all legislators ought to take a tour of the prisons.”
