you realize Citizens United is a united states supreme court case, right? how might a President overturn that? you also seem to be missing two points. the first is that sanders isn’t risking anything by being super liberal, because he is representing lily white progressive Vermont. I think he is admirable for a number…

no, the reason they “get shit done” is because democrats aren’t as disgusting and hostile. mitch mcconnell was declaring that it was his job to oppose any and all legislation forwarded by obama...before obama even got into office. and he was the leader of Senate Republicans! his number one priority was to make obama a…

if citizens of one of those two countries routinely acts “smugly superior”, then you have it backwards.

both clintons? what did she do?

what gives you the impression that she’s take us “back” to the era of embarrassed progressivism?

the civil rights movement was populated with a bunch of pragmatic progressives. if you asked malcolm x, he’d probably say MLK was one of them.

thanks, ill check it out. hope the girl’s family gets justice and the truth.

glad Congress confirmed it. they probably asked him for tips.

i’m pretty sure his defense argued the dismemberment was intentional, no? it was the killing that they said was accidental. they argued he and black struggled while one of them was holding a weapon, which accidentally misfired. part of the defense was also that he is on autism spectrum, so he was able to disassociate…

do you have a link to an article? i’m curious. the two deaths he’s allegedly involved in are people with personal relationships to him.

it may end up in a plea deal, but lesser charges aren’t always offered. there’s not a ton of incentive for prosecutors to go easy on her, unless they are politically motivated in her favor. they’ll likely offer reduced sentence to avoid trial, but it’s not a difficult or time-consuming case for the prosecution so…

that’s a terrible analogy for a number of reasons. but to humor you, even if it was a great analogy, an out of touch shitty person still has legal rights. if the tables were turned, and an innocent 18 year old was made the same type of deal, and his words from a civil suit ended up being strong evidence against him at…

if you were the prosecutor and you denied making the deal b/c no proof was offered, you could lose your license to practice law. considering the time and money most people put into their legal education and career, that wouldn’t be a smart move. but then again, if you were the prosecutor, you probably wouldn’t be…

appeals are based on a court’s mistake of law. what legal mistake do you think the judge made? if you think the judge should have recognized the non-prosecution agreement (which was not in writing), what legal sources would you cite to in order to support your argument? technically, his attorneys, like any attorney,…

i am so confused. if you honestly believe he was swindled, how can you be cool with the outcome? if someone is really guilty, is it ok if the police plant evidence which is admissable at trial? if a suspect is arrested and interrogated without being mirandized, should a confession be allowed? (i don’t think cosby got…

what part of the constitution are you referencing? and the OP seems to be making the point that it’s not a petty argument as the article insinuates. you even said it “seems” as though he wasn’t granted immunity. that is a legal question. lawyers (and judges) fight over legal questions. it is literally cosby’s…

THANK YOU. the legal rights of a party don’t fluctuate based on the public’s presumptions regarding his innocence or guilt. if steven avery’s lawyers were making this argument, at least 75% of jezzy would be jacking off with excitement and circulating petitions about how crooked the DA was to reneg. let’s stick to our…

nothing to do with trial vs pre-trial.

no, IAC claims aren’t almost always against public defenders. PDs are disproportionately represented in the claims, but private attorneys get hit with IACs on the regular. it has absolutely nothing to do with the viability of a particular claim though. private counsel is not somehow immune.

haha
