I can definitely agree with your statements. "Legislator passes laws all the time right under the general public noses, then "bam" a new law of the land needs to be enforced, and if you don’t comply off to the house of justice to answer for your crimes, oddly enough us as civilians have the power to change this, but usually find it to tedious to be part of the law making process, and trust the Politian’s we’ve elected to represent us." With people's daily lives taking advantage of them, it is indeed a balancing act to maintain current events on our country. We rely on officials to represent us as a people and behind our back we are betrayed. For the safety of the people, and the laws that govern us; it would be in our most highest interests to stay up to date and realize who exactly we are electing. Most officials that are elected are no better than me or you. In my personal opinion, it's all a money game.

I can understand your views, I watched this same video last quarter. "Just the other day I was in my communications class watching a clip from 60 minutes on how 2 lawyers had information about a man wrongly accused of a crime, who was sentenced to 30 years behind bars, yet couldn’t speak up because it conflicted with their current clients protection." How fair is our justice system really? Was it really necessary for that man to be imprisoned? How could a government so stable as ours let a criminal slip between the laws, and an innocent man suffer? It's pitiful to think that this could even happen. The government is just corrupt. There are so many rules and laws that contradict themselves. The lawyers in this incident should have had a little bit more moral character regardless of their job title.
