#1 Abuse of power.

#2 If they'd been seaching medical records, it'd be a federal beef. As it is, it looks like RICO should apply here...

#3 Fred is right. If this had been republicans, the MSM would have gobe into a feeding frenzy.

#4 Does Joe have any legal recourse?

#5 Legal recourse? Anyone can sue Bush, Cheney or Rove any time for anything. Joe probably can't get the time of day from the legal system on this mess...

#6 You notice that at first they were trying to blame the clerk that actually was ordered to do the search. Glad the blame is going in the direction of the Supervisors that actually ordered the search.

#7 Bet you, once the attention dies, they all get promoted.

#8 And the somewhat clandestine 'Joe the Plumber' illegal gov't investigation went up the chain of command exactly how far? I smell more smelly fish in that pond.

#9 The election is over, but Joe the Plumber continues to root out evil in Ohio government. Hip, hip horray for Joe!

#10 We threw Taft out because the dumb ass couldn't say "No" to lobbists buying him golf outings. Strickland ran on the idea that he was the ethical candidate.

Plain as day, Strickland shows us that, in his mind, abuse of the public trust is no big deal.

Irony is so ironic - isn't it?

#11 As a state gov emply... a vacation now might have been hard to schedule with other staff .. so a mandated one simplifies the pleasure.

#12 Now ask: how do you think the ~~MSM~~ Donk party propaganda organs would have handled it?

I believe its now been pretty well established that the MSM is simply the sock puppet of one party in the vast majority's perspective. The mask is off.

#13 They could have at least used a clean sock.

#14 Any plaintiff's attorney's reading this, here's a question.

If nothing else, could Joe construct a claim of damages with a floor amount of the value of all the "unpaid" leaves and suspensions and vacations which are piling up? It seems the state is admitting damage to at least that extent. Now, the rest of his claims could be the damages above and beyond that, but the state as kindly started digging the hole their in.
