you have much more faith in the court system to rule justly (rather than twisting laws...or just ignoring them...to suit particular agendas) than i do.

i think the scenario i outlined could happen...repeatedly...in, say, philadelphia.

maybe i'm just overly cynical. of course, watching the court system fail time and time again to protect individual rights is what made me that way
