As reports circulate of a Jesse Jackson Jr. plea agreement, a contrarian view arises from one who sees the investigation as a diversion from the city’s real problems, reports John Cody.
One in the pack running for Jackson’s vacated house seat is one who’s been there before, former congressman Mel Reynolds.
“At a time when we are living in the killing fields of Chicago, our federal government seems obsessed with the Jackson,” said Reynolds.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
