:17:00
At least 1 1 Underground Army members
have been in the DC area...

:17:04
...and we suspect them in at least
100 bombings of abortion clinics...

:17:09
...porno houses,
gay clubs all over the country.

:17:12
The truth is,
you don't have a suspect.

:17:17
Correct?
:17:20
Watch your claws.
:17:28
Gray Grantham covers the Supreme Court
for the Washington Herald.

:17:32
You actually interviewed
Justice Rosenberg...

:17:36
...before he was shot on,
as it turned out, the day he died.

:17:39
Did he say anything that might shed
some light on these dreadful events?

:17:44
Yes. He spoke about things...
:17:45
...off the record,
appropriately for a sitting justice.

:17:50
But I think it would be appropriate
to quote him now.

:17:54
He said, "The campaign waged
by the President was so ruthless...

:17:57
...in its manipulation of the
middle-class fears of minorities...

:18:01
...had been so exploitive and divisive
that it created a climate of distrust. "

:18:06
You know, that Grantham's
a man after my own heart.

:18:10
Everyone wants to know
when you're starting classes again.

:18:13
That includes me.
:18:17
You know what they say:
Drinking makes depression worse.

:18:21
What do they recommend for anguish?
Where've you been?

:18:25
The library. I studied a printout
of the Supreme Court docket.

:18:28
I even made a list of possible suspects.
:18:31
And then threw it away
because they'd be obvious to everyone.

:18:36
Then you looked for areas
Jensen and Rosenberg had in common.

:18:39
Exactly.
:18:41
Jensen generally protected the rights
of criminal defendants.

:18:45
Some notable exceptions.
:18:47
He wrote 3 majority opinions
protective of the environment.

:18:50
And almost always supported
tax protestors.

:18:53
So they might have been assassinated
by an insatiable tax collector?

:18:57
As yet, I rule no one out.
