Yeah, Libby is convicted but the question now is SO What?!!!

The jury finally reached a verdict in the Scooter Libby Trial convicting him on all but one charge of lying, perjury and obstruction of justice. The Associated Press carried the story citing that Libby faces up to 30 years in prison, though under federal sentencing guidelines likely will receive far less. Why does he get gratuities? Others in similar circumstances would maximum sentencing. Does connections, education and the fact that he just lied, nothing more should give him a reduced sentence. It sounds like from his lawyers that they will ask for a new trial or appeal this verdict. In another words tie up the court system until Bush and Cheney are out of office. What a scam!
