Here's the story: Washington D.C. Madam gets caught for running an "escort service" that provided more than just a pretty date. Madam gets arrested on charges of racketeering and money laundering. So, the Madam and her lawyers threaten to go public with phone records of her customers, as well as other juicy information about her clientele. The prosecution turns around and files a motion to prevent her from doing such a thing and at the same time make sure that any evidence entered into court may be used for discovery but will not be a matter of public record.
I smell another Heidi Fleiss in the making -- she should start printing T-shirts now and make an appointment with a publicist so she can milk this for all it's worth. While it may be nice and tidy and comfortable for the prosecution to, in effect, suppress evidence, there is absolutely no reason for this judge to sign this motion. So what if certain Supreme Court justices might be implicated? To hell with protecting our corrupt congressmen's reputations. They willingly and knowingly engaged in an illegal transaction and should not be immune to the public ridicule that comes with such behavior.
What I'd really like to see is the world's oldest profession to finally get its due and be recognized as a legal business that has every right to make money as selling porn on the Internet or being Paris Hilton. But we all know that's not gonna happen. So, just leave the evidence alone, let the DC Madam sell her little black book on eBay, and expose those johns to the enquiring minds who so desperately want to know.
