I disagree, if Ortiz was looking for a future in politics, she's finished. At the very least, she'll have to change her party affiliation. This is a good thing. Otherwise she could've possibly carried on at a higher level.
Although the various public reactions have yet to make any change in law; recent events may discourage similar prosecutions, at least in the near term. Also, a good thing.
- rolux 14y agoI agree with your last point. But just putting a temporary cap on Ortiz' career doesn't seem like a big win to me, in the grand scheme of things. I know nothing about Massachusetts politics. Who knows she's not the "good cop", compared to the person whose career, as a result, will advance faster?
- fnordfnordfnord 14y agoI also know nothing about Massachusetts politics; and you're right, it is a small win. Perhaps she would have made a future in national politics. Now she probably won't. How she compares to the next guy (who won't make the same mistakes) I can't say. There are an infinite number of possible outcomes.
