federal jurisprudence. Emphasis on the last word.

As long as you're not out on bond, you're 1A free to criticize all you want, like yell to the world that Trump is threatening, assaulting, intimidating, dog whistling, etc., You're free to denigrate the courts, judges, call them all the names you want.

But know this:
You, me, no one else outside the federal courts gets to tell the courts what jurisprudence content, pace, timeline, behavior, merits or the law to suit their public idea of justice -- not yours, mine, or anyone else's.

If you think it's about the American criminal justice system, saving lives and country, lay out what will constitutionally improve on the DOJ and the judiciary. Be careful, though.
