    Political vendettas

    Punishing the old administration for its "crimes", which could include for example, any and all of the crackpot accusations against the Clinton administration, is not going to work. Things must be set up to prevent crimes in the first place, or to take action against them immediately.

    Glenn should try to think of ways to protect the Constitution and the rule of law without resorting to extremist partisanship.
