If it wasn’t for Mike Bloomberg, the alleged perpetrators of the worst terrorist attack in American history would likely have been convicted of mass murder by now.

But the goal, in proponents’ minds, is laudatory and worth it—all-but politically and morally necessary. And when they’re finished? None of the attorneys […]
