How the Law Lost Out to Laws of Politics at the Justice Department

The rule of law in American governance should be like post-season baseball: reassuringly ritualistic in all of its ramifications.

Partisanship has to be a passing phenomenon, like LeBron James rooting for the Yankees -- an oddity to be forgotten once his feet hit the floor at the Q at the end of the month.

Constants like the nine-inning pace, the passions and the adrenaline should matter more than the fleeting fumbles or Yankees caps. That's what baseball is, in all its glory, and why we love it and look forward to it -- especially if our boys are playing in October.
