And I'm sick and tired of a legal system under which justice is approached as an intellectual gladiatorial contest, decided by which side can pull the niftiest trick out of the bag. It just happens that the current swing of the judicial pendulum favors tricks by the defense, at the expense of society. I guarantee that I would bitch just as loudly at the converse situation. Chip

I'm not sick and tired of a legal system that just might be loaded in favor of the defendant. I don't think this is a recent abberation; it is one of the principles upon which this country was founded. I am now going to misquote from history (and memory), would someone like to supply the source?
