The US constantly makes everything illegal, then picks and chooses what it wants to prosecute for whom and when. It means you're never safe. You can always be arrested or have your life ruined depending on the mood of the police, agents, and DA at various moments in time.
And these moods and choices vary greatly depending on your socioeconomic status and skin colour to name a couple things.
It's a disgusting practice. Write better laws if you don't mean it.
Yup, it's the Russian-era autocratic way. Nominally be a society of laws, but the laws are so rigid and unfair that everyone breaks them, which gives cover for political will to entirely decide who goes to jail.
It doesn't matter what he says now. He lacks the legal authority to grant pardons or indemnity or whatever. And prosecotors lie, especially for political gain.
Florida and Georgia and I'm sure other states have already put forward legislation that can punish prosecutors for not prosecuting crimes. Really these are thin veils to give legal justification to remove prosecutors who are viewed as liberal. As I see it, removal of elected officials unilaterally is voter suppression and should not be allowed.
Ahhh, so it's not actually about protecting the lives of the unborn then? These embryos are not biologically different than the natural ones from a pregnancy, yet they get different treatment.
when the laws have gotten so bad, that the a nutjob AG who's totally down for enforcing other forms of abortion bullshit; is saying it's too crazy to enforce.
