I recall Senator Boxer going after Mr. Skilling in a hearing. She was upset by his arrogance. That would have been OK had she actually known the guy or understood the economics of Enron. She was a witch hunter and Mr. Skilling was punished essentially for his personality.

I also hope that Chief Justice Roberts and Associate Justice Breyer can get together here and put rationality ahead of ideological bias, as was done with the Daubert decision.
