Seems fair to me. Jill rafflaw,

Poor Sen. Vitter, he is only in trouble because those Big Bad attorneys are picking on him! I think that in light of that kind of "I am entitled" mentality by Vitter and his co-felons, every citizen accused of a crime should be able to use his/her tax money paid to the government for the prior 10 years, to pay for their defense. It's only fair, right??? Jill and CroMagnum Man,

To allow him or any politician to use campaign funds for their legal defense is immoral. If Vitter and the Republicans are really religious and pro-family, they wouldn't even ask for the campaign funds.
