1. Don't get too excited. He isn't going to prison anytime soon.
He didn't go directly to jail, posting bond to remain free until his appeal. He might not actually go to prison for a very long time, if ever.

The sentence would have needed to be 10 years for him to go to jail.

4. I agree that he will probably serve little or no time, but the headline brings a smile
to my face.

2. The only thing that would make me happier is if the five
Supreme Court "justices" who have decreed his crime to be the new law in the land, could be in his cell with him.

"Citizens United" was a case wrongfully exhumed and erroneously decided. It was wrong when Tom DeLay did it, and it was wrong when the five Supremes decided the crime was no longer wrong.

3. Looks great on a job resume.
It's a real attention getter.
