Poison Fruit

Yglesias returns us to what is another fundamental point about all this - once you corrupt the system you have to set up an entirely parallel system of "justice." I made the same point here, but it's something which I think needs to be hammered on a bit more.

You may remember earlier news reports about the FISA court which I'm too lazy to dig up which reported that the FISA judges were at times very concerned about the sources of evidence upon which they were basing their rulings, whether the evidence was in fact obtained illegally.
