It’s too bad that the husband must make the complaint. I would love to see her hauled before a grand jury and indicted. I wouldn’t want to see her sent to jail for this. My hope would be that the law would be overturned, and we would have the joy of Koch being forced to file the appeal that results in the law being overturned.

Of course she would then immediately complain that an activist judge had struck down a pro family law.

The state statute in Minnesota provides for something like a year in prison for a married woman who sleeps with another man. The offending male can also serve time unless he did not know she was married.

The husband must issue the complaint.

There is no corresponding law providing for a penalty for a man who is sleeping around. That’s OK to do.

We luvs our family values!

“While I have not violated any laws

Didn’t I read something about her state having adultery laws on the book? That would indicate that she has violated a law. Guess which party supports laws like that?

Reminds me of a certain president asserting that he didn’t break any laws, while there’s a strong suspicion that what he admits to doing while a state minister president amounts to exactly that. Another conservative – what a coincidence. Though this time it’s about being far too close to various business people, some of them rather shady. (And I should probably add that really, the conservatives don’t have a monopoly on these things … maybe it’s just me, but it seems as if they have more of them.)

Amy Koch did NOT issue an apology, it was more of a notpology. “While I have not violated any laws or Senate rules, nor misused any state funds or property, I want to express my deep regret…” Interesting sense of right and wrong, wouldn’t you say?

That apology isn’t enough. All gay folks should be forced to marry someone they love if they want to.

The schadenfreude is delightful.

The MNGOP has had 4 resignations (not all caused by gay marriage, I don’t think) and they’re out of money. I see opportunity…. Any chance the legislature happened to give themselves raises recently?
