Originally, there were only three federal crimes: treason, piracy, and counterfeiting. I don't think anyone's currently in jail for piracy, I don't believe treason is a legitimate crime, and the government is the primary counterfeiter. All other crimes were intended to be handled at a more local level.

Basically, my position is that no one in federal prison should be in a federal prison. If they committed a real crime, that should have been handled more locally.

As to pleading guilty, feel free to ask Siggy about how perverse our plea system is. That means nothing to me, because those deals are all made under duress.

As to the FAA, air-traffic control is perfectly attainable at a more local level. Almost all of the 200 other countries on Earth are smaller than the US and somehow they manage to not have their planes crash into each other regularly. Just because something isn't regulated by the feds doesn't mean it's unregulated.

Like I said, I'm happy to attempt the exercise you were getting at, but it wouldn't be an honest reflection of what Undisciplined would do with unlimited executive power. I do think conversations about downstream effects on institutions are very interesting. I can take another crack at this with the added caveat that I can't just fire everyone and shutdown everything.
