[Y]ou don't need all that rhetoric to get straight to the real issues. The 'real issues' as you see them, you mean. Right? Though I think that campaign finance reform is a legitimate issue for concern, discussion and perhaps review, I don't see it as one of immediate relevance with respect to the Quattrone case. And I absolutely do not think that the repeal of Glass Steagal is either negative or has any sort of bearing on this issue. In fact, I see the government's erstwhile prohibition on the lines of business that a private company can engage in equally encroaching on private property rights as that which evidently entitles them to the email messages (financial statements, employment records...) of such an entity. I see the fundamental problem as one whereby people in this country have increasingly chosen a growing, paternal state over the Constitutionally-outlined notions of freedom and responsibility. Feel free to differ, though. LPS5
