Rich in content and climax

Legal dramas and medical dramas are two serial dramas that I love to watch. Because both are related to people's vital interests, the protagonist often falls into crisis, and the plot climaxes one after another, interlocking and fascinating. Courts and hospitals are both places where all beings are displayed. This is undoubtedly interesting for a person like me who likes to study human nature. I don’t know how Boston Legal in the second season is. Anyway, I saw the thirteenth episode of the first season. I have been exposed to all kinds of sensitive topics in American society, race, medical disputes, conflicts between evolution and creationism, and hype. Divorce proceedings, the custody of children, the foreign policy of the US government, and many things are extremely controversial. Boston Legal does not sensationalize, and put forward some radical views, but presents a return to tradition. Because there are more civil lawsuits, you can see the vitality of the U.S. Constitution through these court debates, and see how thoroughly the U.S. Constitution is implemented. Although some of the lawyers are Democrats (liberals) and some are Republicans (conservatives), without exception, the winning lawyers abide by the principles of the Constitution. Some time ago, I read Linda’s "The President is Unreliable" and deeply realized the rigor of American constitutionalism (the separation of powers restricts each other, and legal rights are sacred and inviolable). The US Constitution only mentions the rights of people and does not talk about the obligations of citizens. Right and abuse of power are restricted everywhere, as long as a certain behavior abuses rights to an unreasonable level, that is, hurts others, there are legitimate reasons to oppose it and defend legitimate rights. These are quite remarkable things. Unlike our country, where there is a constitution and no constitutional government, obligations and rights seem to be clearly separated, but in the end, rights are not guaranteed, and obligations that should be fulfilled cannot be fulfilled or become unnecessary burdens.

Denny Crane: It's a good feeling, you know, to shoot a bad guy. Something you Democrats would never understand. Americans... we're homesteaders, we want a safe home, keep the money we make, and shoot bad guys.
