Prince takes his stand against the evil "grand inquisitors," but the potentially devastating scene is too brief and ends on a somewhat flippant note. Although the film's ending has fine shock value, it fails to fully satisfy the inner frustrations that have built up during the course of the film...
...explain the rise of predatory criminal behavior in recent years and then offer programs to curb the increase, not the causes. Wilson prefaces his policy proposals with a description of the failure of liberal reforms in the '60s: despite massive expenditures on social welfare programs, street crime--primarily an inner city problem--has flourished.

His busing position is based on his belief that busing doesn't improve the quality of education. Instead, Markey advocates increased funding of inner-city schools and non-discriminatory hiring and assignment policies on the part of local school committees. The abortion and busing issues are volatile in parts of the Seventh District, and Markey's stands on these issues probably lost him few votes...
