Kick Her Out At Our Own Risk.

       Whatta you think about the accusations against A.G. Kathleen Kane? If true, I think she has no right to be the Attorney General of Pennsylvania. That's the beauty of our democracy. We have the tools to remove her from office. Unlike some of our most noted adversaries, we remove those who refuse to obey the law. Those are the rights associated with a democracy.
       But what about the responsibilities of a democracy? In America, you are considered innocent until proven guilty. And that is a very good thing. It's a rule not present in those noted adversaries. That being said, it seems premature to demand the ouster of Ms. Kane from office just yet. Shouldn't we wait until she's found guilty, assuming she will be?
       I know, it makes us look bad to have such a high ranking elected official fall under such accusations, but how bad would it look if we kicked her out only to find out she's not guilty. What if it really is a case of political vendetta against her instead of the other way around? Without taking sides, I'd like to point out that neither side of the political spectrum would be above such dastardly demonizing.
       The point is, it could just as easily be as Ms. Kane has suggested, than as her detractors suggest. So, shouldn't we let the courts sort it out first before we decide who to kick out of office? At this point, it does sound like somebody's head should be on the platter, but not until it's determined just whose head that is. An example does need to be made, but if we're going to decide a case like this before there is a fair hearing, then what do we have courts for anyway?
       Slippery slopes are great for skiing, but not so great for climbing.  It's easy, sort of, to slide down a slope, but climbing out of a mistake is a lot harder. Let's not make any such mistake just yet. Let's show everyone that we're smart enough to allow the system to work.
