Michael Moriarty was a helluva good ADA (Ben Stone) during the first few seasons. He's also a conservative IRL.
I can't really speak for the current season, as I've not seen but a couple of episodes, but in the past there have been storylines with conservative overtones.......such as the episode where Watterson took on the gun industry (and lost), or the SVU episode where Ice-T was asked "what is your deepest secret"(sic), and he repiled "I'm a Republican"........
As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the show is set in New York, a very liberal place, therefore it would not be realistic for it to depict storylines with conservative outcomes, as anyone that has been exposed to NYC, would consider them unlikely........I think that it fairly accurately reflects NY's justice system, which is rife with political correctness, and ambivalent towards offenders.......
