[I don't think fiscal expediency is the prevailing argument]
When it comes to government fiscal expediency is rarely a good or prevailing argument.  I hope you are not confusing the above's "simple expediency" with fiscal expediency.  While preventing a waste of taxpayer's money is laudable sometimes it is a necessary step if only due to procedural concerns (such as Due Process).
And thank you as well.  It is rare to get a decent, civil discussion for long here.
[In America we follow the rule of law]
I'd suggest you be careful with who you present that statement to.  These days, there seem to be quite a number of people who follow/support more dictatorial concepts thanks in part to our current administration.
