I'm not a Republican, Zach. :) In fact, I think economic class is one of the primary dividing lines in America today, and the poor and marginalized face severe inequities in our justice system.
In this case, it does appear that Paris is serving more time than an average person would *for her particular infraction*, but I don't necessarily mind that. There are extenuating circumstances - namely, that the defendant is internationally famous for being a stupid, spoiled brat. It may not be 'right', in whatever neat definition, to throw the book at her, but it's sure as hell fun.
