But Tom...The government was not on trial here...

If by government you mean elected officials, we have a whole other thing that is so screwed up it’s not even funny...

It’s called elections...

Not raggin’ on ya C.C., just pointing out one of the few things T.J. said a long time ago when things were run a little straighter than they are today...
