Congress has taken time out of its busy schedule saving the economy from certain ruin to recommend the pardon of a long dead boxer.
That man, Jack Johnson, was convicted under the Mann Act of transporting an unmarried woman across state lines for “immoral” activities.
This recommendation comes in the same year that Eliot Spitzer was threatened with prosecution under the same law.
