Capitalism Without Failure: Glenn Greenwald: Rule-of-Law in America is being Destroyed by Wealthy Elites Who are Co-opting Our Political and Legal Institutions

Why Greenwald transitioned from law to journalism: Initially he had little interest in the political process. He was much more interested in making sure the government did not transgress the framework and limitations laid out by the Constitution. In the wake of 9/11 Greenwald began perceiving extremism and lawlessness. Greenwald sought to have a bigger impact on the broader political context - as opposed to just working on one constitutional case at a time. Hence his move to journalism.
