As to the states.. well, one AG took the money and ran. Divide and conquer. And nobody (state) wants to be seen as the Last.. deserting a sinking ship [USS Justice?].

Perhaps it shall fall to Euro to face what our corrupt Repo-dominated system simply lacks the balls to face: renegade Corporations (of any kind). Judges may be less directly susceptible of PAC influence, but cronyism is simply, human - and those who propose judicial appointments must have reached the standard level of accommodation, and especially - euphemism. (er "judicial restraint" = don't *change Anything* = we want to 'conserve' status quo. You had better want that, too..)

Seems to come down to the character and techno- perseverence of: this one randomly-selected new judge. Out of near 300M Muricans.

Now if.. some whistle-blower should imagine that perhaps, that department (where she works) may? have exceeded their licenses for installed copies of Word-bloat7.. and turn-in to the S/ware Cops... Nahhh... not even Bally could be THAT stupid (but mightn't one of the cops get carried away and send the usual "notice of impending investigation"?)

In Murica - we have to rely on the Law of Accident, in the absence of anything like rampant Honesty.

It took Welch (atty. at Army-McC hearings), followed by Ed Murrow's gutsy broadcast* - to finally bring down Joe McCarthy; this after years of tyranny by HUAC, countless lives destroyed, several deaths, etc. (and - a few who told the committee to fuck themselves, like William Mandel)

* famous quote from Murrow to the members of the See It Now staff, on the eve of this broadcast:

...the terror is in this room, right now.

XP is almost.. in *this room* right now.
