Because they’re making everything up as they go along. While groping comically for precedent and context in a sad attempt to prove they’re not.
I don’t know... but I'm guessing that upholding due process, properly weighing uncertainty in the evidence, and not acting like an arbitrary tyrant would’ve been a good start.
Speaking of "word salad," how about that 5th paragraph of yours from the top. Hoo boy I'm going to need a forensics team to dissect that one.
What I love about this article:
I read the headline and then almost immediately come across this turd:
The irony is that Albert Burneko, who is smarter and more literate than Simmons, is also a shitty writer for exactly the same reasons as Simmons; a tremendous self-regard and a style that is more about highlighting himself than addressing his subjects.
Counterpoint (not that I disagree with anything here): If your writing strongly appeals to readers ages 18-25, and no one older than that, that does not automatically make you a shitty writer.

You know the Rangers forced a game 7 in a thriller. We going to see anything about that? Probably not. Yay NBA and Soccer!
Wish the guy commenting a few months ago about Blatt being overruled by LeBron was anti-Semitic was still around these parts. Anybody see him around here realizing dude is a bad coach?
In before “people are only criticizing him because he supports Israel.”
Money, coke and hookers.
First rate goal, by a second rate player, scored in a third rate league. Hulk everybody!
Sex. Race. Amazing clickbait possibilities?
