In some areas you're not even allowed to bring it up. Its that shitastic of a idea. Rosa Parks would probably disagree with that assessment. Jury Nullification is fine.

Sovcits can be right about jury nullification and still be idiots, you know. Speaking as someone that's worked with jury selection, yes. In the civil litigation aspect of it, not criminal.

Boywhiz88 posted:Just a reminder because it was discussed in the last page about how terrible the WHCD is and CNN is. I just watched it. Obama got a better crowd reaction than Wilmore, but I figure that's because Wilmore's jokes were blunter, and he's not the POTUS. I did enjoy Wilmore's take on "Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer", but mostly because it reminded me of that rumor that Bob Saget raped and killed a girl in 1990. I like the dinner. Media needs to get roasted every once and a while. And you can make them sit and take it when you attach it to the one of the biggest news sources in the nation.

Andrew Sullivan is a moral leper. His latest, where he blames our hyper-democratic nation for Trump is especially execrable, but he's been lacking a leg to stand on since he went into the wilderness solo. I watched this man lose a LGBT marriage argument to a literal Dominionist clergyman in the dumbest way possible (he conceded that LGBT marriage would lead to polygamy and Sharia law) and I can't stand that he's been invited back into polite society.

Ghetto Prince posted:http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc-news/watch/cruz-confronts-trump-supporters-in-indiana-677847107590 I'm not real sure how much you know about Ted Cruz so this might be telling you poo poo you already know, but... Yes. He believes every word of what he says. People who say that Trump is dangerous are right, but they are omitting the caveat to that. Ted Cruz is worse. Seriously. Do some research. He is a loving terrorist. His dream is to torch the Constitution (including the bill of rights), disband the government and install a brutal theocracy that forces Sharia Law rebranded as "strong christian values" on to us. Im not loving joking here. He really intends to do this. Its his true goal in life. Remember a couple days back when Boehner called him Lucifer? He wasn't dropping sick burns. He was flat out telling the truth. Time and again people who have had to deal with him overwhelmingly hate the guy. Not in a "yea he is kind of a douche bag" way. They hate him in a "Mother fucker is evil" way. That whole joke running around about how his room mate in college caught poo poo for not smothering him in his sleep, little too much truth to that. Time and again, no one likes him. And they all say the same things. The nicest things people have said is that one day, eventually, he will die. This is a guy who's favorite thing is a photo of himself getting poo poo stomped by the US Supreme court. He prides himself on costing this country $24 BILLION shutting down the government over ACA. Understand. The biggest failure of this entire primary season is that the media has largely hand waived Cruz's record, A record he is proud of, of being a loving sociopathic monster. They have given him a pass because Trump has been a clown show. And that is bullshit. Trump is the worst human being still running for president only because Ted Cruz doesn't qualify as a human being. Make no mistake. Trump is a walking disaster. But hope. HOPE that Trump hits 1237 to eliminate any chance of Ted Cruz winning the republican nomination. Dick loving Cheney would be a less evil choice. Again, you may already know this. Honestly its not directed at any one person. Its directed at everyone who thinks Trump is the worst possible option out of the remaining candidates for PotUS.

Taima posted:I never thought I would see the person who is more punchable than Ted Cruz, but somehow we found him. Maybe that's why Ted took the time out to "debate" with this dude, it was his moment to be in a photo with someone more repulsive than he is. I disagree. It's just Ted's "Debate Team" instinct to impotently defend his honor against the onslaught of Indiana's Eric Cartman. Ted is a rube being taken for a ride by a hick with more social grace and awareness than he will ever command. He'll never be president. Incidentally, Yoda rapes with the rythm.

Kilroy posted:Nah it's a great idea, thanks. Checks and balances. Rule of law doesn't need a check against it. The continual move to turn trials more and more into spectacle instead of being about objective truth(I know this has always been the case, but jury selection seems to have gotten worse from the outside) is poisonous to actual justice happening. Once nullification is out in the open, good luck on any minority or person doing unpopular things getting justice in any way. We already see it with the slut defense in rape cases, and I could easily see attorneys bringing up someone's unpopular profession (think porn star or abortion provider) as a way to signal the garbage people to just acquit.

bowser posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwrNiRngMhc I read an article someone wrote a free weeks ago that touched on the concept of a lack of empathy that society has now. Her brother had died from a heroin addiction and on the anniversary of his death her mother posted about it and the comments were filled with assholes calling him a junky and that he deserved it and such and how this sort of thing is common where anyone that needs help or has something bad happen is then yelled at through social media. She attributed this partly to the ease of dehumanizing people through the internet and how in person you have to see someone's facial reaction and you then know when you have gone to far in saying something bad. However I think that this video is an example that she isn't entirely correct. The real meat of the issue is that in the last thirty or so years (probably longer) there has been a concerted effort to create a message that anyone that needs help is a failure and deserves whatever bad thing happens to them. The obvious intent of that is to destroy the social safety net so you get idiots like this woman thinking that any significant part of her taxes go towards this man's family's food stamps. Social media is the easy place to yell at the "takers" but it's becoming more of a common thing for these videos of people that have been stewing in the juices of hate media to finally decide they need to say something to the people that are stealing THEIR money and should just be working harder than 56 hours a week if they want their kids to have dinner. I think it's partly that we want to believe if these people actually met a family in need in person and weren't just some nebulous internet example that they would change their attitude but really it's clear we are past that point. It also raises severe questions into the line that private charities will be able to cover government social services. Obviously they can't possible do that but the fallacy that people will donate enough to cover starving people is made more questionable when people like this are the ones that would be asked to give. How are we supposed to believe a person outraged that her tax dollars are feeding this man's children is going to give enough to her church for them to be able to feed any significant amount of people? I understand there's this weird place where a person can be a hate filled caricature in one aspect of his or her life and then be giving in other ways, but there's simply no way this person (or most people realistically) would be willing to give enough to offset the destruction of food stamps alone. It's been a problem for years but we've allowed the right wing to fester in their own alternate reality for so long we are going to see a lot more of these types of confrontations as the people that have been led to believe they are being robbed through taxes feel the pinch as well and lash out at who they've been told are the ones stealing their paychecks. It's not like anyone with a real voice is really fighting against that narrative.

Radish posted:The real meat of the issue is that in the last thirty or so years (probably longer) there has been a concerted effort to create a message that anyone that needs help is a failure and deserves whatever bad thing happens to them. I disagree with your assumption here and the intent you ascribe to it. I think people classify food stamp users and the generally less fortunate as fundamentally broken mooching losers because that lets them not face the horrible reality of the randomness in this world. "There, but for the grace of God, go I" is a really really scary concept, so people instead cling to the idea of a just world. Psychological tests show that people are really freaked out by the idea that randomness is in charge and that they have no control over things that impact them. The person doing the attacking in the video is less trying to belittle that person and more trying to reassure themselves that they are not at risk of finding themselves in the same situation. They are also an rear end in a top hat. Shifty Pony fucked around with this message at 13:45 on May 3, 2016 |
