His very presence undercuts former Secretary of State James Baker's dire warnings that if we persist in this crazy "unconstitutional" recount, markets will collapse, world leaders will wobble and general mischief will abound. In Baker's view, the bipartisan counters are secret croupiers itching to stack the deck.

Other cases abound where Texas prosecutors relied on discredited scientific "experts," concealed important evidence from the defense or paid jailhouse informants with reduced sentences in exchange for what turned out to be false testimony...
