I consider crimes of violence to be the use of aggressive force against a person or their property. After some research, this appears to disagree with the generally accepted definition, so feel free to reread my comment with this in mind.

The "just following orders" defense. I reject such a notion. If "just following orders" or "just prosecuting within the boundaries of the law" leads one to perform or support unethical actions, then one should refuse to follow those orders or prosecute those laws.

While I am all for the repeal of the CFAA, I do not think that it is unreasonable to seek justice against someone for abusing the justice system (torturous use of plea bargaining).
