Looking past the smoke billowing from the Right and Left, it would seem the real cause for alarm is the fact that our intelligence agencies can, and do, falsify forensic evidence. This should be what shakes every American (and beyond) to the core: unelected - unknown even - members of the government can, without an iota of legitimate oversight, fabricate evidence that could be used to threaten, abuse, or even imprison an innocent person.
Mix in "well-intentioned" motives such as "defending freedom by making sure that senator doesn't scuttle this defense bill" or "helping the poor by making sure the Speaker of the House helps benefit program X get expanded", and...
It feels like the Left and Right are Liberty's ungrateful children, arguing over her estate at her hospital bedside, ignoring the implorations of the doctors to start treatment, while the the monitor starts to flatline in the background.
