America's criminal codes are now so voluminous that they bewilder not only the average citizen but also the average lawyer.

Harvey Silverglate, in his new book, Three Felonies a Day, argues that the typical American professional is likely unaware that he or she violates federal law daily.

He spoke at the Cato Institute October 1, 2009.

    They do. They don't get a lot of publicity nor have a very large following.

  • @bladedspokes *chuckles*

  • This guy is an incredibly poor speaker. It really detracts from what he is trying to say.

  • Watching this video is a felony. 

  • Scientologist. Don't believe me, I have a link to a video on Youtube to a rare 1982 interview which features Harvey Silverglate arguing points with Ron DeWolf(L. Ron Hubbards son) on a local talk show.

    Hubbard's son was ANTI- Scientology.

  • He mentions abstract laws being used to go after unpopular people. True. Then he says Muslims are unpopular. Unpopular with whom? Whos going after Muslims? Even when they are actually committing a crime we all would agree is a crime (publicly plotting to murder their fellow Americans) they get a free pass. If anything they are the darlings of the PC crowd now in charge. They are the new favorite victim group of the left.

  • This is a old tactic.  Been going on forever.

  • I had to do a double take on that tie. I got half way through the video without noticing it! I want one too.

  • They are honest...?

  • I love you, Harvey :)
