Where will you be when they come for you?

Government routinely breaks the laws. So says
Judge Andrew P. Napolitano in the current issue
of Cato Policy Report and in his book,
"Constitutional Chaos: What Happens When the
Government Breaks Its Own Laws." Judge Napolitano
reports on cases of torture, psychological abuse,
and frame-ups of innocents that he discovered as
the presiding judge. Any American naive enough to
trust the police and prosecutors should read what
Napolitano has to say.

Torture has become routine in American prisons.
The goal of the torturers is guilty pleas and
false testimony against innocent defendants. The
torturers succeed. Napolitano reports that "fewer
than 3 percent of federal indictments were tried;
virtually all the rest of those charged pled
guilty."

Does anyone seriously believe that the police
are so efficient that 97 out of 100 people
indicted are guilty?!

Could it be that 'government routinely breaks the
laws' because they made 'em so they're theirs to
break?

After all, it is their ball game, isn't it...umpires
batters, pitchers, everyone.

Now tell me they can't do as they fucking well please.

Worth the read.
