At this point I see Senator Klobuchar as the sort who would buckle first to demands of a Hague tribunal. She is the Democratic nightmare to anyone who may have committed a crime against humanity. Advocating, threatening, or excusing crimes against humanity is good for prosecution at a Hague tribunal. Klobuchar isn't much different from Obama in having a "do the crime -- do the time" attitude.
One of the supreme ironies of history is that the Chicago political machine may have had one way to protect itself from a superb legal mind with a willingness to prosecute corrupt political hacks or to cut such people no slack as a Chicago or federal judge. Minnesota seems to have less built-in corruption than does Illinois. The pattern for many Democrats is to be a tough DA before winning a statewide or local office before becoming a member of Congress. Does anyone here think that Obama could have been another Thomas E. Dewey with more political savvy than Dewey? Dewey -- two lopsided losses
Do the crime, do the time... a commonplace attitude among Americans.
