The State is too big, we here hear. The State is too powerful, too far reaching in it's scope and interferes in too many places in too many ways...The State should be cut to the bone, we hear here.
What better place to begin than to deny that the State exists at all? Far better to divide the Nation into right-uns and wrong-uns.
Big-endians and Small-endians? (As Swift outlined in Gulliver's Travels.)

Soon the word 'Justice' shall have it's core definition fall into neglect and go the way of 'Fairness' to become Putty- Proclamations, that mean whatever you wish them to mean, unless that disagrees with the State's, ad hoc, liquid-definition.
No longer shall it be, Crown verses Defendant, it shall become, The Small-minded verses The Small-intellect.
