This Essay examines the appropriate line in legislative drafting between the overly generic fraud statute (e.g., mail fraud) and the addition of an overly specific statute, such as "Beanie Baby" fraud. Clearly, issues of federalism warrant consideration to determine whether the conduct belongs in the realm of the state and local prosecutor or more aptly in the federal system. Likewise, the scope of the federal statute needs to be clear in order to avoid ambiguity, overbreadth, and application of the Rule of Lenity.
This Essay looks to a third factor for considering the propriety of the legislation: Whether the statute is designed to advance the historic roles provided to each of the three branches of government. When legislation accords a fair balancing to the executive, legislative, and judicial bodies, the appropriate line between the generic and specific statute is achieved.

In the mid-1980s, Colombian drug lords declared all out war on Colombia’s judicial system in an effort to intimidate the Colombian government into canceling extradition agreements with the United States. Dozens of judges and prosecutors who could not be bribed were intimidated, assaulted, or assassinated as a means of impeding the work of the judiciary in prosecuting the so-called war on drugs. In an effort to protect the lives of Colombian judicial officials, extreme measures were taken to hide the identities of the judges and prosecutors hearing drug cases. The result was a secret court system out of which other issues of justice and human rights became an issue. This article examines in-depth the history of the Colombian legal system, the evolution of its judiciary, and the role of faceless judges as a means of fighting drug trafficking.
