It must be terrible in your mind that courts seek to enforce the rule of law, requiring prosecutors to actually prove their cases. I see your point, a star chamber is a better method of assuring conviction which is all justice really wants.
And as an aside, the protection afforded the worst amongst us, ensures that all of us are guaranteed adequate protections.
Just for a month, you should live in a realm where civil liberties are dream, not a curse.
I don't find it unreasonable to support no erosion of civil liberties, just as I don't desire any erosion of rights to bear arms.
