Federal law is greatly overcriminalized according to Professor John Baker of LSU. A discussion of another legal issue made me think of the wisdom of Professor Baker (who gave me the opportunity of helping research a paper he wrote) on federal power issues. Here he is, discussing the dangers of overcriminalization--how it lets the feds pick someone they want to go after and then poke around in the statute books to find some law that he or she has broken, rather than there being an undoubted crime out there and law enforcement trying to find who did it. https://youtube/watch?v=P7ZKs3UvZWc
