host: next call for dan abrams comes from martin in davenport, iowa. caller: dan, my question is regarding "citizens united." not understanding the jargon of the legal system, but my basic understanding was that it involved money and politics and that the ruling said freedom of speech. meat that is a perverted judgment but it is what it is. is my understanding correct -- my understanding is that it is a perverted judgment but it is what it is. is my understanding correct? there was a murder trial five years earlier and they finally were picking a jury. can you tell me your thoughts on the length of time it takes to bring things to fruition? thank you very much. dan: thank you. on the second question, it is frustrating that our legal system moves quickly. if a defendant wants to quickly, the defendant can force, in a criminal trial, encased to move forward quickly right to a speedy trial. it is usually the defendant who is delaying the process. the more maddening thing i think from a sort of a structural point of view is our civil law system. there, you
