"You're not entrusted to take the time away from efforts to serve the American people."

I'm not sure who is telling Kerry to say these things but I wish they would cut it out. His quote above will be met with the fact that he has not exactly been darkening the doorway of his office in Washington very often. Not to mention the fact that Senators vote on legislation; Presidents don't.

As a lawyer, I would hope that Kerry understands just how difficult the case against Lay has been to make and how difficult it is going to be to prosecute. I would also hope that he knows that this is not the only case that the Justice Department has to deal with.

On edit - and yes, the Enron matter is basically all that a specific team of AUSA and staff have had to deal with for years now. Prosecution of a case this size is done by a team, with computer's, technicians, investigators from the SEC/Treasury, experts in finance and economics. It is the federal friggin government and they spare no expense. Just as Lay's lawyers will not spare any expense in defending. (No high profile arrestee does the perp walk, they are allowed to turn themselves in, avoid the press. The perp walk was for the admins sake - a photo op if you will. A deal has already been worked out.)
