That's actually the same thing I said to a friend of mine yesterday - "They managed to do this one the old fashioned way with an actual investigation and some semblance of due process. They don't need new laws when the old ones work." And internationally, even!
But things get so twisted I can never predict how anything will be spun by anyone involved. I'm just glad things will be quiet on this front for a while. Hard to say what they'll come back with down the road, but I suspect at least a few lawmakers learned something from all of this. I can hope, anyway.
