Quote from J. Jackson

-----------------------------------------------------------

With the law books filled with a great assortment of crimes, a prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some act on the part of almost anyone.

Justice Robert H. Jackson, The Federal Prosecutor, Address Delivered at the Second Annual Conference of United States Attorneys (April 1, 1940) (as quoted by Justice Antonin Scalia, dissenting, in Morrison v. Olson, 487 U.S. 654, 729 (1988)).
