You, written by a former federal attorney, shows that even the
49 percent have no idea how bad things really are. Rights and
freedoms are not the only things at stake; all too often government
imperils the very lives of those it supposedly serves. Federal
employees have, with legal impunity, blown up a town and killed six
hundred people, released staggering amounts of radioactive
contamination and lied about the resulting cancer, allowed people
to die of an easily treated disease in order to study their deaths,
and run guns to Mexican drug cartels in hopes of expanding agency
powers. Law enforcement leaders have ordered their subordinates to
commit murder. Medical administrators have “cooked the books” and
allowed patients to die, while raking in plump bonuses. Federal
prosecutors have sent Americans to prison while concealing evidence
that proved their innocence.

I’m from the Government documents how we came to this pass:
American courts misconstrued and expanded the old legal concept of
sovereign immunity, “the king can do no wrong.” When Congress
attempted to allow suits against the government, the legislators
used vague language that the courts construed to block most
lawsuits. The result is a legal system that allows official
negligence to escape legal consequences and paradoxically punishes
an agency if it tries to secure public safety.
