The court is in my home county and the credit-taking attorney general is running for governor (R).
Hence the guy is trying to take credit for everything from stopping the sale of Hershey (a sale that his office was reportedly pushing for until public uproar came) to the telemarketer Do Not Call list (wow, implementing a law passed by the legislature. impressive.) and now apparently stopping child porn (and beating on Worldcom! Two for one!).
Whether this will be anything more than a footnote in election politics, I don't know, but you can be sure that if it does then the problems of precedent and putting the burden on the wrong party, not to mention the whole flawed Whack-a-Mole approach, will get lost in the noise.
