willing to let out 100 violent criminals for every one wrongly judged by that system.

That is exactly correct. The system is corrupt in that prosecutors try very hard to convict people who they decide is guilty and thereafter ignore contradictory evidence. The trial is no longer a search for the truth but a contest of gladiators. The system clearly convicts innocent people regularly even though our principles say that one must be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If we followed that principle, we should be letting many guilty go free to ensure that we NEVER convict an innocent man. That is our underlying criminl law principle but are you saying that conservatives do not agree with it? If so, I am newly glad to be a Libertarian.

Newly? Yeah right, with your total animus towards the current justice system, you have always been a Libertarian, IMHO.

The typical Libertarian, who applauds the OJ verdict as "justice" against the system,(etc. etc.).

But I'll give you credit. At least you are honest about your Libertarian/ACLU beliefs.

You unlike the other pro-potters on FR, don't hide behind an invisible curtain, where they, the other pro-potters, proclaim they are the uber conservatives and only they hold the mantle of being true Reagan conservatives.

I salute you for breaking away from that facade and declaring your true politcal side on social issues.

The side of John Conyers and Hillary.
