Good read, IMO.

Due process is too expensive
every time
Wow, Scalia is the voice of reason here? The bit about DNA testing becoming so expensive that there will be wrongful convictions is hilarious: as if the DA won't just throw out any results that don't advance the state's case anyways.
I can't find it now, but there was an article on SCOTUS about how the extreme right-wing politicized SCOTUS has favored wealth creation and economic efficiency over justice and citizens' rights.
The Business of Financialized America is Business. Nothing happens unless someone pays to make it happen.
The mythical Shining Light on a Hill is now, and perhaps always was, nothing but war-loving Spartans, gross, overweight, decrepit, low-culture, TV-watching Philistines, and hypocritical religious Pharisees.
I agree that if asked upon, forensic analysts should be able to support their findings on the stand and explain how they came to those conclusions. The logic seems faulty in the idea that all that's needed is the report... if that's the case, why not just require accounts from eyewitnesses as well? Heck, we'd save a lot of money by just having everyone fax in their statements!
in its incompetence and at its criminal fringes, forensic science becomes and includes flim-flammery and psuedo-science. extirpating it from usage is a task to be completed, not a fait accompli. LE bureaucracies are real too.
