    Bring in the Pitbulls

    Justice needs to be served. No one is above the law. Many of the people who involved in corporate scams are leaving the United States and working overseas to avoid the law. The Department of Justice needs to be doubled in size and in resources. We need to go after those who tortured or authorized torture. They should be prosecuted under the laws that are constitutional and not the creation of the Department of Defense or Department of Homeland Security. If there is another terrorist act in the United States it should not deter us from cleaning up our own house. Acts required to protect "national security" need to be revised and locked in a place where it cannot be tampered with. Bring in the bull dogs that can do it.
