We have become a country in which everyone is subject to prosecution for something at almost any time it becomes politically convenient or somehow otherwise profitable. In short, the more laws on the books and the more complex the laws the more likely it is that anyone can be destroyed at any time. For a beautifully told story of how this works I recommend, A Matter of Principle, by Conrad Black.
