    It has to happen first.

    I’m so fucking sick of these “Asshole can have consequences…” articles and nothing happens.

      Sorry, that’s the best feel-good I could find for today. One makes do with what one finds when the sumbitches are above the law that applies to the rest of us.

      Yes, exactly. Unfortunately, I think it’s highly unlikely that the same corrupt legal system - which this woman has quite clearly demonstrated protects the most serious criminals instead of prosecuting them - will suddenly start delivering justice. I don’t think anything will change unless the citizens themselves force through the massive reforms that are necessary.

      At present, it is almost a mockery to call the US a constitutional state, because the legal system is so obviously corrupt that it simply no longer fulfills its purpose, as the regime illustrates very impressively on a daily basis.
