Precisely. I litigated industrial torts cases over five decades. Many government appointed lawyers, insulated from all consequence and accountability, often perform as lawyers insulated from all consequence and accountability.

The definition of a broken regulatory state is one where defense lawyers, knowing all the relevant facts of a dispute, can't guess within several orders of magnitude where a case will settle until they hear the enforcement attorneys' first offer and the insincere tone of self righteousness with which it is delivered.

Great comment but if I may ask about the metaphysics? What is the fiduciary responsibility of the fiduciary state.

In Canada a lawyer is responsible to reveal all pertinent evidence he is aware of to the opposition. The purpose of law in Canada is to establish justice.

In America "winning is the only thing." Vince Lombardi.

For a good Catholic Lombardi was sure anti Christian.

I love Pope Francis. I still bare scars from the Crusades. Talk about miracles a Christian Pope. This Jew will not be around to ever see a Christian America but I live in a Christian Nation of 80% skeptics and an impenetrable wall between church and state. Our ACLU calls this antidemocratic The ACLU is not liberal it is theocratic. Your liberals aren't liberals they're theocrats.

Christianity isn't about faith. Faith and a nickel won't get you coffee at Dunkin Donuts but there is free coffee down the street the only price is listening to other's nonsense because you don't believe enough of your own nonsense. Christianity is about serving and caring for your fellow man. Faith is really beyond our pay grade we are stupid apes.

America's 21st century civil war is a holy war of competing theocracies neither resembling the teachings of someone many believe once existed.

Yeah. Back in the 90s a friend who worked at the same bank as me got a job at a San Francisco housing agency. A few months in, I asked her how it compared. She said she made more money for less than half the work. Later she invited me to one of their Friday afternoon "office meetings" at a local bowling alley. Didn't see any work occur, but it was fun. Nice gig if you can get it, sucks for everybody else.
