    I hear diy law enforcement is now ok. Just modify the bill to let any concerned citizen file suit. Let the gestapo deal with millions of pesky lawsuits

        Delayed justice is no justice. That’s the strategy being used by Trump for ages. What Newsom should do is to enforce a bunch of state laws anyway, let the courts pile up, keep delaying them, become president, and dismiss those lawsuits.

          Justice is always delayed, that’s what separated the rule of law from mob justice. Jurisprudence means the careful dissection of the evidence to build a case worth proceeding with. The law is very specific about these things. Just because you don’t exist under the rule of law anymore doesn’t make that not true.

            And nothing stops evil people from abusing the system. They do a bunch of crimes and use the advantage from said crimes to gain leverage over their case, like paying for good lawyers, bribing the jury, or even owning the entire justice system. Like, for them, criminal cases are investments.

              Yup. Laws are for the poors. Doesn’t mean we can’t demand better, especially when heinous crimes are exposed. Shame the fuck out of those fuckers.

          I never said don’t try anything. I’m just saying this particular tactic is highly unlikely to do anything but overwork a few court clerks.
