Money Rules Again vs. Legal system

As is usually the case, money and power have once again beaten the U.S. Justice system. Among the most recent examples:

• Dick Cheney Won't Face Charges Sure it was an accident, but was it caused by negligence? Where are the toxicology reports on Cheney and Whittington? Sure Cheney's lawyers assured us that alcohol wasn't involved, that's his job. And what of all the security personnel who surely were there. Wonder what they had to say? You see all I'm asking for is the same investigation into Cheney that the Government would do on the average Joe, and that includes for sure a toxicology test to determine who if either was drunk or high.
• Gretzky, Wife Won't Be Charged Criminally Betting, even with an illegal bookie is not a crime in New Jersey, but placing a wager for someone else is. So what if either of the Gretzky's placed a bet on someone else's behalf?
