My Big Mouth

Cicero, while not a big fan of Caesar, was horrified when the senate assassinated the dictator in front of him, calling on Cicero as their inspiration. As the warrior was attacked from all sides, he shouted when Brutus stepped in to deal him a fatal blow, saying, "You too, my son?". Cicero, had anyone been listening, said, "Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in."
Now, he of the biggest mouth in Roman history, was a political animal. He could go on for hours about what was wrong with the empire, but when it came to being accountable to those he had pissed off, he was a bit wishy-washy.
No police force.
No investigation.
No commitee to examine motives.
No public forums until after the fact.
Politics with teeth.
