But I think that it's disingenuous in times like these to handwring about worst-case Constitutional scenarios that arguably will never happen (like Ty's hypo) outside of a Boalt Hall or Stanford law classroom.

Worst-case? It's a worst-case scenario to consider that someone might be behind bars for the wrong reasons? It happens all the time. For whatever reasons, prosecutors make mistakes. And so on. The notion that government institutions don't work perfectly has always been pretty central to conservatism -- why is it so unimaginable here?
