When you look at courts in the South (but really anywhere in the US - just that for the stronger historical context), the length of time it takes people to get trials, the amount of money in major cases and the political careers of attorney generals justice has always been mob-like. Just focused on powerful mobs.

Also looking at the power of lobby (mostly the power of big biz) in politics, combined with the two-party system (where big biz can easily support both sides), I think we see a much bigger enemy of democratic discourse.

Mob rule is maybe "the people" finding a way get around the broken system.
