Regarding Mencken's proposal for punishing bureaucrats--Brett Middleton writes,
"This is in regard to your lewrockwell.com blog entry on 10/23, in which you describe Mencken's proposed justice system for those who take it upon themselves to punish a public official. If you'd like to see an example of a similar system in (fictional) action, I suggest that you try to find a copy of H. Beam Piper's short novel "Lone Star Planet". I think you'd appreciate the trials held in the "Court of Political Justice.""
