That’s fine we’ll just bring it up again next year, the year after that and the year after that until we get the correct result.

Judge wasn’t much better he was incompetent for not sequestering the jury, weak for not following through with his threat to declare mistrial of the prosecution referenced the late “evidence” and a coward because he’s going punting on the declaration of a mistrial to another judge.

I tell them they don’t understand the battle we are in which encompasses more than a physical battlefield and that lawfare, activism, specifically choosing “right wing” content and other cultural activities is not only doing something but is more effective than running around with a rifle screaming 1776

It also reminds me of the early Roman republic. The Romans had a three per party and the body that was the comitia centuriata (which was the popular assembly but originally in Rome those in the assembly also served as citizen as soldiers) was one of the bodies that passed laws and the only body that could vote for higher magistrates like the Consul, Praetor and Censor and the only way to become a high ranking magistrate was to have had some sort of command in the legions prior.
