But those ideals remain forever in the display case -- they're never 
actually taken out and used in difficult cases like this.  What confounds me 
is the way all the intricate legal gears meshed so perfectly during the 
Diallo case to give the appearance of due process with none of the 
substance.  Plausibility was delivered; justice denied.
