Any moron can cut and paste statutes.

If the Justice Department started prosecuting johns who hire online call girls, they would have time for nothing else.

Again,kindly post a link to a successful (or even unsuccessful prosecution) under the Mann act of a john who contracted the services of an online escort consensually and arranged to have her meet him "across state lines." This is silliness and a waste of law enforcement resources.

OTOH Spitzer has a huge political problem. It's the hypocrisy, stupid.

Technically, his actions DO violate the Mann Act and you know this to be true.

If the Justice Department feels like prosecuting him on this act is irrelevant to me. He admitted he violated his public trust and should resign immediately. He violated his oath of office and admitted breaking the law.

You fell compelled to defend his actions? Then why should you care about what any politician does. You are the party to this hypocracy [sic]we used to call the US Government.

As a result, that makes you a traitor to the Constitution in my opinion.

I am tired of arguing this point with apologists and defenders of "liberalism".
We are supposed to be a Nation of Laws. Yet, you ignore the Law when it effects you and yours.

You are part of the problem.

If every violation of the US Code was prosecuted, we would all be indicted for something.

Please post a link to your demand that David Vitter should resign.

Get your facts straight. He MAILED the "Emperors Club" the fee AND had her transported from NY to Washington DC.

Do you think he MAILED the money from DC the same night the hooker showed up? The US mail doesn't work that way. He was only in DC for the night which means he probably made the arrangments while in NY.

Getting the facts straight is hardly being an apologist. Maybe you should check the facts before you accuse others of not having facts.

Any man that packs up his wife and the sex toys and heads to another state on vacation is guilty of violating the Mann act.

Hey, does that mean that every DC politician that paid for his wife's travel to DC should resign? If he had sex with her after paying for her travel, I guess it does.

(The above is in no way intended to "apologize" for what Spitzer did. It's just a comment on how vague "debauchery" is in the Mann act. Spitzer appeared to violate it by paying for a prostitute to cross state lines.)

Exactly! (well, wife might be problematic but certainly his girlfriend)

A marine biologist developed a race of genetically engineered dolphins that could live forever if they were fed a steady diet of young seagulls. One day, his supply of the birds ran out, so he had to go out and trap some more. The best place to find them was in the state next to his, so he drove there, trapped quite a few, and drove his truck back towards his lab. As soon as he crossed into his own state a state trooper pulled him over. The biologist asked the trooper what was wrong... he had been traveling under the speed limit.

The trooper responded, "mister, your under arrest for transporting young gulls across state line for immortal porpoises."

Spitzer is part of the Democratic culture of corruption.

I don't feel any sympathy for him - he knew what he was doing.

From the NYTimes -

Quote:

The man described as Client 9 in court papers arranged to meet with a prostitute who was part of the ring, Emperors Club VIP, on the night of Feb. 13. Spitzer traveled to Washington, D.C., that evening, according to a person told of his travel arrangements.

Then from your story - also the NYTimes

Quote:

Mr. Spitzer's cited rendezvous with the prostitute on Feb. 13 occupies five pages of the 47-page affidavit. The document recounts parts of a half-dozen conversations Client 9 had with Ms. Lewis, the booking agent, in the roughly 24 hours leading up to his meeting with the prostitute at the Mayflower Hotel.

So. speaking of clues, do you think he mailed the money from DC the same evening the hooker showed up? Or do you think he mailed it while in NY so the money did NOT cross state lines

I believe the NY Daily News used "Democratic culture of corruption" in their story on Spitzer.

Sorry the DEms took so long to even get on the page. Im proud at least that Spitzer wasnt giving hand jobs under the stall, or he wasnt diddling little boys.

Best thing to do whenever these things come up, is to criticize the actor and demand his outser. Dont make comparisons about whose team is least morally spent.

Ah-hah! It was the "someone" at the BANK who alerted the IRS as to "suspicious" transactions.

"Someone " at the bank...Wall Street? Pretty obvious to me.
