You can steal from citizens once, but not twice.

If he stole from citizens, it would have been a slap on the wrist (if not a promotion). He stole from the state which is why he was punished.

"Kennedy, a Republican"

It's ok. NJ republicans are middle-left democrats in any other state.

[Think It Through]

Is there any case law in a book somewhere, that says mayors of cities with "Ocean" in their name can't sell furniture owned by the government, and keep the money? If not, what's the problem?

"Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? If I knew that that sort of thing was frowned upon.."

If anyone ever really needed qualified immunity, it was Costanza.

Would need to be a Supreme Court Ruling, not just some cheap case law shit

I refuse to couch this in diplomatic terms: He should get the Chair for this!
