    Make Your Case...

    This reminds me of one of the best movies ever made about journalism, "Absence of Malice". In the climactic scene, Wilford Brimley, the no-nonsense Asst. Attorney General calls the over-zealous (dare we say 'rogue') District Attorney on his questionable tactics, and tells him to 'Make your case', right here, right now.

    Rent the DVD for a great story, and (hopefully) a hint of how this current obscenity should come out in real life.
