A woman is dead after being shot by a federal agent during an ICE operation Wednesday morning in south Minneapolis. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called the woman's actions leading up to the shooting "an act of domestic terrorism."
“Principled” is the wrong word. “Naive” might be better. “Cowardly” with rationalization could work.
They believed it would damage the country to have a jury of 12 put Trump in prison rather than a jury of 375 million. It would damage the country. The best possible outcome was Dems win the election and then Trump sees justice. Intolerance bring fascisms, so they fought fascism with tolerance. This is the result of their actions AND our actions.
It was convenient to pass the buck onto the American voters because it meant they didn’t have to do anything.
There’s no way to elaborate on this statement without admitting that there’s at least a two-tiered legal system in place, which is the point being made. Biden had the opportunity to prosecute but did not because there is an unwritten rule that we don’t do that to certain people. Saying they didn’t have enough time is just taking the long way to the conclusion that nothing was ever going to happen.
Unless maybe you’re aware of some law or rule that requires investigations and indictments of specific people to take much longer than normal?
He wasn’t even appointed to investigate by Merrick Garland until nearly 18 months after he took office, which was already 2 months after the Insurrection.
There was enough time if they hadn’t waited to decide whether to even bother with defending the country.
Judge Harris clearly had the authority to, uhh… Um. Well stop bringing reason to the conversation. Biden should have just acted like a dictator so we didn’t have a dictatorship!.. Wait ugh why doesn’t any of this work?
Looking at responses to this makes me feel we should start making pro dictatorship pro democracy tallys. Right now we have sh.itjust.works falling just behind lemmy.org as being the largest supporters of dictatorship. With 0% of lemmy.org so far believing the president of the United States legally cannot convict someone of crimes.
But neither of them were principled enough to convict Trump for Jan 6th.

Americans voted him back in before Jack Smith could charge him.
I have to say, I have my doubts about that.
Four fucking years they had to bring that case.
And Americans voted him back in again undoing all the work everyone did on the case.
Go commit any crime on camera and see if it takes them 4 years to charge you with it.
I’m not president.
Nor do you have dozens, to potentially thousands of people all willing to throw themselves into a hail of bullets to keep you out of jail.
I mean, I’m just assuming you don’t.

I’ve never tried to show there isn’t a two-tiered legal system.

How else are they gonna use it to coerce votes out of people who don’t like them? They can’t possibly do anything until an election is imminent.
lmfao i bet you have a personal signed copy of The Mueller Report
Three digit limited run buddy.
Yes. It was their principles that were the issue; not that it was completely out of the scope of their power.
