Chapter 13: Solomon's Ascending Sequence
As we all know, the United States has always been extremely proud of its national system and national foundation, with three separation of powers: the executive power of the president's representative; the judicial power of the deputies to the National Assembly; and the judicial power represented by the Federal Supreme Court, which has formed a solid political structure with checks and balances, and has always been exported to the outside world as the highest achievement of rice-style politics.
In fact, this is a great modesty, in the eyes of the people of the United States, the separation of powers is the great contribution of the people of the United States to the Blue Star and even the Milky Way, if there are other advanced life in the Milky Way.
If the procuratorial power is separated, it is tantamount to making an extremely major revision of the national capital, not to mention the complexity of administrative procedures, not to mention whether the old stubborn nine-term tenure system of the Federal Supreme Court will not agree, even the wave of opposition among the people will definitely be high and frighten people to death, and there will even be extreme "patriots" who will jump out to perform traditional arts such as shooting on Capitol Hill.
"It's not about adding another power, but taking the prosecutorial power out of His Excellency the President's executive system, as for whether it will be assigned to the Capitol Hill as part of the legislative power or handed over to the justices as a supplement to the judicial power, or whether the two families are jointly managed, it is still undecided, in short, this is just a process of Capitol Hill stealing things from the White House, of course, it is very likely to be successful, so the justices will also be tempted."
"Dear Mr. Assistant Prosecutor," Stan Gordon said with a rare smile, "I know you want to copy Dewey's line, start as an assistant prosecutor, accumulate enough fame and cases, rise to the district attorney, fight the mafia to get more capital, move into politics, from the House of Representatives to the mayor of New York City to the senator, and even run for president." But now is it possible to lift you one more way? Also, you can tell your elders in the family about it, they will be interested. Don't ask me how I know. I'm the FBI, and I'm powerful. ”
"Therefore, I will leave this case to you, and I believe that with your legal wisdom, it can be resolved satisfactorily. If it is done beautifully, it may not be able to add points to the cause, after all, Fetcher is a real gang, and Dami is not really innocent. Right? I'll give you a copy of all the materials I've gathered. ”
Solomon was silent, he was smart and shrewd, but needed time to digest the information just now.
Stan Gordon's words were too much like a bomb, and the shockwave of the explosion still made him feel a little confused, but intuitively he wanted to believe this man.
It is not a day or two that the Senate and the House of Representatives, which represent the legislative power, and the president, who represents the executive power, do not like each other, and it is natural for the former to dig into the corner of the latter, especially now that the president is a Democratic Party, and both houses are controlled by the Republican Party.
If we don't use this opportunity to block the president, how can we be worthy of the efforts of the founding fathers to check and balance power?
Moreover, there is also a political extreme correctness in the action of digging into the wall: "Limiting the power of a president and decentralizing power to the people's representatives, the probability of 535 parliamentarians making mistakes at the same time is always less than that of the president alone!" ”
In addition, in recent years, the power of prosecutors has indeed been more and more subject to many administrative restrictions, and many actions cannot be carried out freely, and can only be carefully moved within the framework.
The federal attorney general also complains privately about this, but don't forget, he is also a member of the cabinet and swears allegiance to the president, so there is no good way to dig into the corner of his boss.
If prosecutors can move from being accountable to the president to being accountable to Congress, it's a lot easier to do their jobs!
After all, it is much more convenient to fool the old councillors than to fool the group of administrative bureaucrats!
Stan Gordon was right about Solomon's future course, starting with the prosecutorial system and then going the administrative line, relying on political performance and family background.
His idol was indeed Dewey, the "villain prosecutor" who beat the New York gangs in the 30s and 40s, and then became the governor of New York
However, Dewey is not most famous for these, but for his 48-year presidential campaign as a Republican candidate, opposite Truman of the Democratic Party, all the polls before the election believed that Dewey was far ahead, and even many major newspapers changed their previous caution and declared Dewey the winner before the results of the vote count came out.
And Dewey was also full of confidence in this, and he even said to his wife in private, "You will sleep in the same bed with the president tomorrow, what kind of emotion." Mrs. Dewey was deeply honored.
As a result, Truman became the 33rd president, and after conceding defeat, Mrs. Dewey asked her husband, "Honey, is Truman coming to New York today, or am I going to Washington?" ”
……
Although a bit unlucky, Chris Dewey was strong enough when he was a prosecutor in New York, not only personally sending in several big gang leaders, but even inadvertently creating a gangster history: the famous Jewish villain Duggie Schultz became the first and probably only gangster to be killed by the gangster committee for trying to kill Dewey.
Because the committee was afraid that the failure of Schulz's operation would attract greater revenge from Dewey, it simply nippled the matter in the bud, of course, it was not ruled out that this was the unanimous gun of the Italian gangsters, and the cunning Jews were squeezed out of the underground society.
Regardless of the causes and motives of all parties, after Chris Dewey's operation, the law and order in New York did improve for a while, and the Jewish gangs that killed people from the beginning of the 20th century to the 30s were silent, but the Italian "families" still survived the cold winter and began to expand vigorously in line with the creed of making a fortune quietly.
In the eyes of a capitalist elite like Solomon, the mafia that terrifies the people is nothing more than leeks to be cut, and the farmer who is driving a combine harvester with the stick of law is himself a farmer who drives a combine harvester!
The country of rice has always been the world of WASP, and the starting point of Solomon is the end point that Dami and Felice, who are from Sicily, have been unable to reach in their lifetimes.
The so-called WASP refers to the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, that is, white, Anglo-Saxon ancestry, and Protestant, and only those who have all three of these will have a much greater chance of entering the superstructure of the country than others, and will easily gain trust and be granted real power, while others, especially people of color, even if they achieve a class jump and climb up from the bottom of society, will only become a signboard for the new class, used to promote the dream of the United States and the national melting pot.
In just a dozen seconds, Solomon finally figured things out, and I have to say that Gordon's news is very important, which means that he can find another way and not need to squeeze the congress-senator lane.
The position of parliamentarian is too sought-after, there are constant disputes behind the scenes, and it is not very easy for large and small families and interest groups to squeeze into it.
After all, there are only a few hundred thousand people who can get legal licenses, and there are not too many people who can straddle professional and political affairs, so that their chances of winning are more large, and the advanced model of district prosecutors, federal prosecutors, and national lawyers of the Ministry of Justice after independence from the administrative system also looks very good.
Once you become the first lawyer in the Ministry of Justice, it is much easier to run for parliament, or you can become an official in the Ministry of Justice and then move to a regular position, in short, this is a good way.
"But Dami Nizo ......"
"Aha," Stan Gordon laughed very rudely, "just convince the jury to believe the prosecution testimony." That's not your specialty! ”
"After all, between a 'gangster' and a 'pretty Solomon', it is self-evident who the jury will believe. I wish you a speedy achievement of the goals in your heart. I'll go first. The documents will be sent to you in a moment. ”
……
Camamacipin Pierrot, the lawyer of the Nizzo family, is in his 40s and is in the prime of life, when his father came to the New World from Sicily with his bare hands, and on the first day he was robbed of his belongings and the few dollars he had, and if he hadn't met old Nizo, he would have become a beggar.
The Sicilians follow tradition, huddling together against the king's exorbitant taxes in their homeland, and more closely in foreign countries with more dangers.
At a young age, Kamazepin showed traits that were very different from those of his own race - taciturn, but good at thinking, and the elder Nizo decided to "send him to law school, and the money will be in charge of the family." ”
When he graduated from the University of California, Hastings School of Law, it was only natural that he would go off the beaten path.
Hastings Law School, which is not in the top 14 of the TOP-14, is in the upper middle level, and the outstanding graduates in the period are also qualified to apply to be assistants to the Supreme Court.
Don't underestimate this position, this is the golden starting line for legal people in the United States, whether it is to make money as a practicing lawyer or as a judge/prosecutor in politics, with this resume, people can look high.
Kamazeping unexpectedly chose to be a judge assistant to the New York State Supreme Court, saying that he could see more interesting cases.
In fact, it was to help the "family" open the way in the New York judicial circles.
After the MAFIA riots in the 30s, he knew very well that the good days of the underground society above the government were gone, and if the family wanted to continue to develop in the future, it could only be gradually bleached, and bleaching needed the support of technical talents, so he would set aside a large piece of "blood money" to pay for the tuition fees of his juniors, especially young people who were admitted to business schools and law schools, and he could get his favor.
It is a pity that there are not many such offspring, and carbamazepine is the best among them.
According to Felliche's point of view, in a few years, this boring guy will probably be promoted to the "legal counsel" of the "family", which is the American version of "white paper fan" as Edward understands it.
