I've become a jail maximalist. Everyone who stole government data while working for DOGE? Jail. Everyone who offered a bribe to the Trump administration or accepted a bribe on behalf of the Trump administration? Jail. Everyone from private to general who was involved in murdering all those Argentinian fisherman? A hole in the ground under the jail.
When education is not liberating, the dream of the oppressed is to be oppressors. We must seek not to invert the relationship, but in fact to humanize both sides. Teach them empathy as justice is served to make whole the oppressed.
I don't see how things are improved by conducting a witch hunt. Rather expend that energy at doing things better - showing how things should be done, create by action a positive contrast to the actions you would condemn.
Maybe if those where are in public service, would actually do their jobs and serve the public we would all be better off.
It's a hard thing to do - letting people get away with murder - but if the alternative is to expand the current divisions in society, is it the best outcome for that society?
I don't have the answers, but I know it's very easy to point fingers and say "it's all their fault".. They have been doing it for years, and have shown it works, do you also want to take up their methods?
The implication of "witch hunt" is that there isn't really anything to find; authorities are abusing their power to harass someone for political reasons.
Why would a billionaire known for bribing authorities pay Alina Habba $50MM (for no apparent reason) immediately before receiving a presidential pardon? If we continue to let people like this get away with committing crimes right out in the open, we're never going to get back to a world where the rule of law matters.
We can't let accusing your political enemies of a crime as you are actively committing the same crime continue to be a get-out-of-jail-free card. There's no both-sides here. One side is obscenely corrupt, the other is... the best we have at the moment.
In this era, a ruling by a district court is irrelevant.
What do the Supremes say?
There have been a lot of doctrinal changes over the last few years, and lots of courts haven't gotten the memo.
It is going to take decades to clean up the mess of just the last 2 years. So, so, so many people need to be in jail.

Jail is a good start, but maybe a step farther for some.

What makes you think they don't?
I think you are agreeing with me?

I don't want to oppress a people, I want to jail criminals.
Prison is necessarily oppressive. "Criminal" sure does a lot of heavy lifting when you are making the laws...
Sure sounds like you want to oppress a people to me.
