Not only are we "still TALKING about this," law enforcement agencies are still DOING it on a daily basis secure in their impunity and backed by judges who were appointed on the basis of their reverence toward the police state and their dedication to its expansion.

In the motto "Equal justice under the law" the operative word is "under." In our system, justice doesn't override law - but laws can and do override justice.

On issues like civil assets forfeiture, the problem looks more like a question of philosophy than law. The majority of federal judges/justices were appointed by administrations with a philosophy that expansion of the police state is a priority which overrides citizens' rights, and the appointees reflect that philosophy. So when you go into court to defend yourself from abuses of police power, the court isn't interested in your rights; there HAS to be a nonprofit like IJ or the ACLU to intervene on your behalf or else the fact that you're in court in the USA is moot and void. Since there CAN'T be a nonprofit available for the thousands of cases that come up, the vast majority of such victims can't hope to get an American-style hearing that recognizes American rights.
