Some airing of grievances:
1) Judges who don't vary down from the guidelines for first-time non-violent offenders.
2) Prosecutors who don't have open file discovery.
3) Defense lawyers who don't share what their cooperating clients are going to say.
4) The sentencing guidelines.
5) The few remaining judges who don't order early exhibit lists and pre-trial Jencks.
6) The good-faith exception to the 4th Amendment.
7) "Harmless error."
8) "PCA"
9) Arresting someone without giving them the opportunity to surrender.
10) Min-mans
