vanity projects and uses the DOJ to prosecute him (even "post-mortem" if he died) and all his "coterie" of so-called (not) "Christian" (or not) accomplices, including Todd Blanche (in a Nuremberg-style Court, where International Law as well as the US Criminal Code will be followed), I think he/she will win the nomination AND the election in a HUGE landslide.Note: Well, as long as she/he follows through with the promises...
I suggest a real successful prosecutor like Glenn Kirschner, who served for 30 years as a federal prosecutor, homicide prosecutor and Army JAG to lead her/his DOJ.
Who's with me (since the pedofelon war criminal a la Hitler & Mussolini made the precedent of not following the convention and norm that the President of the United States used to respect the DOJ independence)?
Guaranteed election win.

Justice matters.

Judges don't send 87-years-old felons to prison these days, I mean especially those with "money" ...

He will not see the inside of a jail or prison cell.

(10,071 posts)Maybe Judges should use some "AI" to speed up their rulings... instead of delaying, delaying, and delaying like justice is nothing "urgent" ...
Just saying.

Otherwise, they get away with their crimes and abuses, and no amount of a Nixon-style fixes will help. Afterall, the conservatives started dismantling those so-called protections the second they were implemented. They pushed and pushed and here we are today.

(24,052 posts)Investigating and prosecuting the crimes of this administration is a given- I cant imagine any serious candidate saying we have to look forward, not back on that issue (well, maybe Rahm would), so I dont think its going to be a centrepiece of anyones campaign, or shouldnt be.
People want economic relief and a restoration of lost rights.
None of that is possible without expanding the court, and killing the filibuster to do so.
Justice matters.
(10,071 posts)and killing the filibuster.
Pedo will not be sentenced to prison (too sick in the head and everywhere else too), BUT his Republicrook accomplices will...
They have to be severely punished for life to set a precedent (although there were some of these examples during Nixon's crooked regime but now obviously forgotten by the current Fascist cabinet).
