It's true that grand juries indict most cases brought before them - the standard is lower than at a trial and you don't get to put on a defense - but I don't think it's fair to characterize them as rubber stamps as they do occasionally refuse to indict, and by definition we never know about all the potential cases that could have been brought but weren't because the prosecutor didn't think a grand jury would go for it. It's not a cure all for abuse, but it does mostly ensure charges pass a basic sniff test from a neutral 3rd party.
