Re: Brown removed

Peter,

Uh, innocent until proven guilty isn't the issue, and I think you know 
that.  When a state official has been indicted, they cannot stay in 
office by state law.  ESPECIALLY when the two crimes mentioned are 
sexual assault and election fraud.  Both removals are temporary pending 
either the charges being dropped, or the person being acquitted.

I know Governor Lawton Chiles performed the same function prior to Jeb 
Bush.  I cannot help but wonder, would you have posted that same comment 
had the governor's name not been "Bush"?  Hmmm.

Perhaps you think "innocent until proven guilty" also means that a 
teacher accused of raping a student ought to continue to teach?  A cop 
accused of stealing or murder be allowed to be "walk a beat"? 

The answer is, of course, No.  In cases where someone in position of 
authority is accused of committing a crime, I think public safety 
demands that you remove them from authority positions until the matter 
is cleared up.
