In April, 2011 a three judge 5th Circuit Court panel ruled that since the jury was presented with "overwhelming evidence" that Skilling conspired to commit conspiracy fraud, the verdict would have been the same even if the honest services theory had never been presented, and Skilling's conviction was upheld .[32] The case in the 5th Circuit is United States of America v. Jeffrey K. Skilling, 06-20885. Skilling appealed this new decision to the Supreme Court[33], but was denied certiorari.

i have a question for all the folks that call for obamas' impeachment: you guys realize that impeachment doesn't mean removal from office right? even if obama was impeached that still doesn't mean he is removed, the SC could find he didn't commit any crimes, just like i believe they did with clinton.
i mean for gods' sake, why the heck should he be impeached for something he had nothing to do with? if the SS did something illegal, that is on the head of the SS, not the president! the SS protects the president, he isn't their boss and isn't accountable for their actions anymore than he is when soldiers in iraq or afghanistan kill non-combatants..

The Secret Service agents didn't do anything illegal. It's certainly distasteful to most Americans, but in the juristiction where the act occurred, prostitution is LEGAL.

Timothy McVeigh, Adolf Hitler and Bin Laden are all awful human beings. Obama should be impeached!
Plague in the 14th century was a disaster. Obama should be impeached!
Red Sox almost went 100 years without a championship. Obama has to be impeached for that!
the guy lives in a pineapple under the sea. I haven't seen his real birth certificate! He told Lindsay Lohan to get wasted and steal jewelry! How can this man still be president? He steals freedoms and spreads AIDS to puppies and children! This man is an outrage.

Got news for you. Secret Service does NOT work for Obama, they protect him.
Obama has absolutely zero influence over the Secret Service, other than to say "I'd like to suggest that possibly agent xxx be removed from my detail" but has no power of hire or fire over the agents in the Secret Service.
FOX News, Governor Palin, and Governor Romney should know that a President, and certainly a Presidential Candidate, have no authority to fire secret service agents assigned to their protection.

obama is the president of the united states, he has much more important things to do than check what off duty secret service members are doing at 3:00 in the morning.
that's not his job. that job is entrusted to the secret service member in charge of the detail.
he's responsible to for what his men are doing, and he's the one who let the president down.
