Technology moves so quickly we can barely keep up, and our legal system moves so slowly it can't keep up with itself. By design, the law is built up over time by court decisions, statutes and regulations. Sometimes even criminal laws are left vague, to be defined case by case. Technology exacerbates the problem of laws so open and vague that they are hard to abide by, to the point that we have all become potential criminals.
States are urging Congress and the White House to act fast to change a law that may soon deprive them of nearly $9 billion in federal highway funds, the equivalent of roughly one-third of the amount in the economic-stimulus package.
''A broad federal investigation of public corruption has been under way in Alaska since at least 2004, although it didn't become widely known until Aug. 31, 2006. That's when teams of federal agents executed search warrants at more than 20 locations around the state, including the offices of six state legislators. In all, twelve people have been convicted, pleaded guilty or charged and awaiting trial or sentencing.''
Former state Rep. Beverly Masek was sentenced to six months in federal prison Thursday on corruption charges, a lenient punishment that sliced a year from the minimum confinement recommended by federal guidelines.
