I kind of thought that was my initial point.
Judicial Immunity....something that doesn’t actually exist but judges have claimed it and it’s accepted.
Prosecutors can be held accountable, but it is very, very difficult. Nifong is a perfect example. He should have went to prison for as long as those boys were looking at, for what he did to them.
There are many others. These people put their pants on the same way you and I do. And it’s sickening to see them act as if they were above the law, which in so many cases, they darn sure seem to be.
As for Wiseman and all the lives he has ruined, I think we’re long past solitary confinement and well into that area where the Tree of Liberty needs to be watered.
If theyre so worried about insider trading, shouldnt pretty much EVERY member of Congress get indicted?
How so?
Do you even know what insider trading is?
Recently I saw one of those little boxy bags that Louis Vuitton makes. The end of it has an opening that the little critter it’s made to carry around can look out at. $2,500 to cart around a little yapping poodle.
I looked in the bag and saw Trey Gowdy.
I agree. Prosecutorial immunity is an issue that needs to be revisited. Nifong was an egregious anomaly. Over time, prosecutors have appropriated more unchecked power. If there isn’t a regular means of holding prosecutors and investigators accountable, the abuses will only get even worse.
I think we are clearly at that point and we need a regular means of policing these people that goes beyond jury nullification. Civil suits against prosecutors should be accepted at a lower threshold by courts. Rules against flipping witnesses, abuses of 4th amendment, and withholding exculpatory evidence need to be regularily considered for license revocation at state law boards.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Prosecutors and investigators should be on notice that the public will not tolerate judicial tyranny.
