In 1993, Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington starred in a movie entitled The Pelican Brief in which a well-connected oil tycoon was willing to murder two Supreme Court Justices in order to achieve an enormous economic and political gain. In the movie, anyone who got close to the truth was murdered as well.
My first reaction to the movie was that our criminal elite would kill members of the Randy Weaver family for possessing a shotgun that was one-half of an inch too short. I knew that the thugs running the DOJ (i.e. Janet Reno) would sanction the murder of innocent women and children at Waco and our elite were perfectly fine with killing over 160 of their own federal government servants at Oklahoma City in order to achieve a political objective. But murder two U.S. Supreme Court Justices, no way! I reasoned that even the Clinton’s, with the enormous body count that followed them into the White House, could not get away with such criminality. Nor would they have the temerity to carry out such an act.
