You fundamentally don't seem to agree with concept of the rule of law. And the rule of law is no way "abstract"- but utilitarian in preventing the abuses and tyranny of discretionary government. If that means some people that are ultimately guilty get off, so be it. It's a hell of alot better than your platonic bureaucrats that get discretionary power over people's life and death.

I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate...
for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here
