WASHINGTON--Authorities dropped charges yesterday against an aide to Virginia Sen. Jim Webb who carried a loaded gun into the U.S. Capitol complex. "After reviewing and analyzing all of the evidence in the case, we do not believe the essential elements of the crime of carrying a pistol without a license can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt," said U.S. Attorney Jeff Taylor, top prosecutor in the District of Columbia. Webb senior aide Phillip Thompson, 45, of Stafford County, was arrested on March 26 after Capitol Police spotted the loaded pistol and two other loaded magazines in a briefcase being scanned by an X-ray machine at the entrance of the Russell Senate office building. Thompson told the officer at the building's entrance that the weapon belonged to Webb. The senator said later he did not give Thompson the gun but refused to say whether it was his. Webb told reporters Thompson had carried the gun into the building "completely inadvertently." District of Columbia law prohibits carrying a handgun or concealed weapon without a license. --The Associated Press
This is simply another example of the plethora of blatantly un-Constitutional laws; which are, & always have been; very selectively enforced. These laws never apply to the elite ruling class, their friends, or owners; government bureaucrats; government employees; or the cops. Socialist party R, or Socialist party D, it doesn’t make that much difference.
What about Corzine? The same State Patrol that stop the common folk & write them tickets for speeding, & seat belts; drive him @ 91/mph; with no seat belt; NO PROBLEM.

way to go republicans, another lost opportunity...
Dear Goober. . .
Youe make a great point If Jeff Taylor was appointed by Gonzales, I fully understand the reason the others were Fed. prosecutors were dismissed. Gonzales missed one!
If it had been a Republican this would never have happened. . . he would have been charged and found gulity as well as the Senator. Pictures plastered all over the Washington Post . . .
Different strokes for different parties!
