[@SSGERDMV3382]

According to the reporter, Senator Kern is from a very conservative district and this indictment might help the senator. The follow up question to the reporter should be, "have Arizona conservatives adopted as part of their ideology that they are no longer subject to the rule of law?" The reporter reminded the audience that a person indicted is, of course, presumed not guilty. Seems to me that an indictment requires law enforcement, in this case the Attorney General, to array evidence to show that there is reason to believe a crime or crimes were committed and the accused will have a chance to appear in court and mount a defense. The reporter could have reminded everyone that despite what has come out of the mouth of Senator Kern and Senator Hoffman, they'll have their day in court. The top law enforcement official in Arizona is clearly doing her job and doing it correctly. It's the supposed conservatives(supposed because as long as I have understood conservative ideology standing up for the rule of law was a deeply held belief) who are not standing up for a conservative principle, namely the law.
