Meth labs of democracy I've been frustrated by this stuff for many years, and come to the sad conclusion that corruption in American public life is simply endemic. Lawmakers could and should prioritize the public availability of public legislative and judicial proceedings, but habitually choose not to, preferring obfuscation over clarity. I buy into Plato's concept (sometimes attributed to Tactitus) that 'the more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.'
