The Wire Season 4. (Well, if you want to get them worked up and pissed off.)
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'd recommend Dick, but you probably want something more serious and historically accurate.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
OMG love Dick so much!!!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
IIRC, Dick was surprisingly historical.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OMG love Dick so much!!!
Does your GF know this?
Sorry. That was too easy. Your post was just lying there....

Ann, that's a ferret.
lcat, maybe All the King's Men. And Talk of the Town may get a little esoteric, and it involves State courts and not Federal, but it has a lot to say about law as a set of principles vs. law as a way to deal with specific situations.
Part of the problem is, the way the Federal government works is usually not the stuff that good movies are made of.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
