Government By Idiots

For decades, federal judges treated the U.S. government like a special kind of litigant. Not because judges are naïve, but because the Justice Department was supposed to have one non-negotiable currency: credibility.

That currency is getting torched in real time.

A 60 Minutes investigation highlighted more than 35 cases in which federal judges said the government provided false information, including false sworn declarations “time and again,” according to NYU law professor Ryan Goodman.
Yes, I’m repeating myself; but it fits here, too.
