> we don't have nearly enough judges, jury members or court capacity to give everyone the speedy trial with a jury of their peers. Then perhaps we are arresting far too many people for things that don't matter? If you remove low-level drug offenders from the system, suddenly there is a LOT more capacity. Or, mentioning my earlier example, why the hell was a federal prosecutor gung ho to go after Aaron Swartz? Apparently there wasn't anything more important to be spending time on. That doesn't look like a very overloaded court system to me. If the general public had to actually PAY for the justice system, perhaps they'd suddenly discover that they want it a lot smaller.
