The corruption of our justice system is not some MAGA-driven dystopian fantasy - it's real, and it's frightening. Here is a piece by attorney Leslie McAdoo Gordon, explaining why she is retiring from the practice of law. A sample (emphasis is the author's):
I'll have more to say later, but the bottom line is, after 26 years, & especially the last few, I have come to an inescapable conclusion: there is no justice to be had in our "justice" system. I am no longer willing to participate in a system that I consider to be a total farce.
My status as a practicing litigator has constrained me from speaking truth to and about the system. With that constraint removed, I will not be silent any longer.
The state of our institutions - particularly the criminal "justice" ones, but also the federal civil courts - is dire, & is unacceptable for a functioning republic. They must be radically overhauled & reformed, & a renewed emphasis on first principles restored.

Here's one example, among many, that provides some context: "Biden DOJ Seizes Phones of Two Top Trump Advisors – 40 Subpoenas Issued in Ongoing Harassment Campaign". And here's another example: "FNC’s Carlson Slams ‘Unlawful’ Biden DOJ — ‘Politicized Federal Law Enforcement Is a Threat to Democracy’".
Can we still vote our way out of this, or not? Looking more doubtful, all the time - not absolutely hopeless, but doubtful - especially with GOP leadership consisting of limp dishrag opportunists and do-nothings.
I've long thought our criminal justice system sucked.
ReplyDeleteIt's a plea bargain system.
Now, it's Chicago machine politics all the way down.
They went after Mike Lindell in a low-down, thuggish way today.
It's just despicable the way they're going after enemies of our fine betters.
Can we still vote our way out of this, or not?
ReplyDeleteI'm leaning towards "not", alas.
