Like me, you may have heard this argument before:
It's not a conspiracy; it's just the result of like-minded individuals cooperating to achieve the same goal.

Mr. Rickards fails to address a key issue - such "cooperation" becomes conspiracy when it produces an agreement to commit an illegal act. The only exception would be the power we concede to our legally, constitutionally elected legislators, whose chief job is to turn previously illegal acts (or ones not previously openly contemplated) into legal ones.
Our current batch of legislators (federal, state, and local) typically operates right on the line between cooperation and conspiracy. That's one of the chief reasons we need an apolitical Supreme Court ... and also one of the chief reasons today's politicians want to pack the court with their political allies.
In my view, the US federal system no longer works. And no one has the power to change it for the better. Oh yes ... there will be changes, but I doubt rational observers will agree they'll be beneficial for the people at large.
