I've never seen an administration that was more secretive.
They've heard all kinds of horror stories about what can happen in jail and how they'll be locked up and someone will throw away the key.
You don't spread democracy with a barrel of a gun.
Many voters think about the makeup of the Supreme Court when they are choosing a president. The justices deal not only with constitutional issues but also with social issues that were unknown to the founding fathers who wrote the Constitution more than 200 years ago.
People will never know how hard it is to get information, especially if it's locked up behind official doors where, if politicians had their way, they'd stamp 'top secret' on the color of the walls.
