If this is allowed to stand, any Republican in a right leaning district who can identify a very right leaning judge has an open invitation to charge a prominent leftist Democrat on any cockamamie legal theory he can come up with.
Just get the judge to refuse to grant a change of venue and Viola! You’ve got a jury pool likely to be very hostile to the defendant anyway and now really pissed off and looking for a pound of flesh. The Defendant is screwed. You as the DA, have just bagged a great big trophy “kill” for which your voters are likely to be thankful.
That’s exactly where this leads.
I hate to adopt the Left’s evil tactics. But sometimes the aggressor sets the rules of engagement.
Only reason I’m still registered to vote. Revenge.

I believe that won’t happen. Democrat prosecutors might charge Republicans for political reasons. I expect Republican prosecutors to do nothing about it.
