I agree with you, mostly because it seems logical to me, like if you torture a person for years for nonsensical crime like possession, how do you think it’s gonna turn out? Though, I think that much more important is to ensure that they have the ability to put their lives back together after release, since in the modern day, it’s practically impossible for anyone with a record to get a decent job.

I mean, I doubt all prisoners are locked in these prisons. I think these prisons like Halden are rewards to which the best behaving prispners get transported to. Still, the criminal justice system in these countries is awesome.

Imagine applying for a job and having a cat get the job instead of you

We usually don’t like saying that due to a phenomeome called ‘Trial by public opinion’. He has not yet been proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt, neither can you prove so. Decreeing someone guilty, even outside of court, without proof, can negatively influence jurors to deliver a guilty verdict even if the defense creates a reasonable doubt.

I’m not saying I agree with the doctrine; in fact I think it’s unjust and would prefer it being tossed, though I seriously doubt he has any chance of succeeding on this claim, especially with the current SCOTUS. And I doubt the state’s lawyers are that incompetent as to ignore it.

Under the Double Sovereignty doctrine, the Double Jeopardy clause doesn’t apply in this case tho. Hence, you can be charged for the same offense twice in both stage and federal court.

Just wait until you hear that the US fully repealed all laws penalizing sodomy (which included homosexual intercourse) between two consenting adults in 2003, when the Supreme Court declared that such laws were unconstitutional under the equal protection clause (Lawrence V Texas).

The progress in that regard was fortunately very quick. In 2009, first states started legalizing gay marriage, in 2013 SCOTUS decided that even gay pairs from states that banned gay marriage can receive benefits if they have a valid marriage license from a states that allowed it (US v Windsor), striking down the shameful Defense of Marriage Act, and in 2015, it was at last decided that the constitution protects gay marriage, making it legal in all states (Oberfeller et al V Hodges). In 2020, in an opinion paradoxically written by Neil Gorsuch, a Trump appointee, the court decided that the protection guaranteed by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 applied to LGBTQ folks as well (Bostock V Clayton County).

Daily reminder that the admin is in its second possible violation of a court order, with the first one being already confirmed as contempt by judge Boasberg and in which he’s seeking criminal contempt.

It’s his third month in office.

Because what the ICE did, while maybe de jure legal, was overexatturated?

Catering to your idiotic voters is the reason.

Damn, you got drip

The piece of shit saying that was formed to screw the US

Damn that’s cool

Props to the outlet for showing the picture of Bannon in criminal court.

High IQ individuals definitely exist on the republican side. The only thing is that they are the most selfish kind (hence why they are republican) and hence they won’t work for free.

And how the fuck did the mentioned police officer hurt anyone? Do you seriously hate someone just because he joined a police department? Sure, there are many evil officers, however how do you know he was evil?
