Up to now you have been hearing of the brave new world in which nice people sit down and talk together, perhaps under the leadership of charming mediators and facilitators, and when they are done, there will be a solution. For my part, I will be talking about the old world, the use of power. It is judicial power, but, essentially, one group of people imposing an outcome on others.

I am talking about situations in which people have violated federal laws, and the question is: what should be done about it? What should be done to stop them, and what should be done to penalize them for the actions that they have taken?
