    What you're doing is literally no different than the guy who claims the game is fixed, and blames the officials every time his team loses a game.

    That's absurd. For one thing, I don't know what you mean by my team but I suspect you don't mean "people that think blatant corruption is a bigger problem than runaway, out-of-control prosecution of corruption."

    For another, we haven't even gotten into blatant corruption at the Supreme Court itself, if that's what you think this is about. If you'd like, let's do get into why Justices Scalia and Thomas refused for decades to make the financial disclosures legally required of every federal employee, and the conflicts of interest in the Thomas household whilst Mrs. Thomas collected millions of dollars playing musical chairs as a right wing political consultant. Especially thorny given her work for Citizens United even as her husband was sitting on Citizens United, apparently.

    The problem isn't that the system is rigged, or broken, it's that your side can't convince enough people to agree with you to effect change, and the really disgusting part of it is that you don't even think you should have to try.

    False dilemma. The system can be broken and rigged and corrupt beyond reform. For now.

    As for what you're disgusted by around what you say is my side, I can only imagine how viscerally you would and will react to what comes when corruption like this runs its course. Are you so very sure what side you're on? Somehow I think it's not up to you.

      Your response both illustrates and proves my point, so much better than I ever possibly could. I stand by my previous response.
