I maintain that paying a handful of lawyers to bicker is much cheaper than the damage governments can do to Americans by killing production, limiting freedom, and all those other things that governments do when they aren't fighting each other.

I contend that eliminating our freedoms a tiny bit at a time, setting and building on precedent, is what makes all those horrible things you listed possible. The elected leaders come and go, but the bureaucracy lives forever.

e.g., take James Hansen at NASA...

I see two options to that.

Launch and nuke it from orbit, or apply the Chauchesku solution.

The Soviet burro-craps didn't keep their jobs in the new Republics, unless they changed their tunes. And they had somewhat upset lots of people.

Question: Why does it matter what time the car arrives 10 years from now?

Answer: Because the plumber is coming in the morning.
