The Meaning of Scooter Libby’s Conviction

Although liberals are doubtless dancing in the streets over the conviction of Scooter Libby, the truth is that our plethora of laws insures that, if those in authority want to put us away, they can do so one way or the other, even when there’s no crime to start with.  Just grind down someone long enough and he or she will be reduced to powder.

I’m not sure what "inalieanable rights" mean under these conditions, but they don’t mean much.
