I'm not intimately familiar with the justice system either. I'm on the outside.
One doesn't have to be a criminal defense expert to see my point. One need only pay attention to the tone of conservative opinion pieces or conservative talk radio, which, I admit, may not provide a 100% accurate sample. To my mind, issues of criminal justice, immigration reform, etc. should be approached with sadness, humility and pragmatism, not the righteous indignation and self-congratulation that one so often hears from the right.
If a parallel is needed, I would also agree that those on the liberal side take too much unreflecting pleasure in advocating higher taxes on "the rich."
As I've said before, government is a devil with two penises.
