What scares Conservatives so much about the American system of jurisprudence?
Aren't you Conservatives proud of America and our justice system? Isn't our justice system supposed to be the shining example of how to provide equal justice under the law?
Either you are hypocrites to the extreme, ignorant as to how our systems work or afraid of the revelations of criminal misdoings by the Ashcroft/Cheney/Bush/Gonzales protocols set up to hold these defendants in perpetuity. Which is it?
Can politics trump justice? If that ball is in the court of partisan reactionnaires, I guess the answer is "every damn day!".
Having no personal experience with the criminal justice system, I certainly may have missed a few things. One thing I know for sure is, when the President and US AG talks about how guilty you are and your future execution, BEFORE your trial, that is not OUR criminal justice system. I also know setting new precidents in the legal system has big risks.
And you're probably savvy enough to see how a mistrial is set up from the very beginning when the A.G. says that its already a cut and dried case. And I wonder who among us, given the murderous mindset of radicalized Islamofacist terrorists who frequently put out contracts on people, would be willing to sit on that jury? And where are you going to find somebody with any kind of common sense or a brain who doesn't already have an opinion about the guilt or innocence of the accused?
