You mean one time-barred, victimless misdemeanor that got transmogrified into 34 felonies by an overzealous political hack of a prosecutor?

Lawfare was tried, and it failed. I hope it dies the death it deserves instead of becoming the new normal.

If you're an actual attorney, you should be disbarred. Not sorry.

Disbarred for being realistic and honest about what a mistake that prosecution was? I voted for Harris BTW.

I did though.

It’s possible to support Harris and still be reasonable about the utter failure that the lawfare campaign against Trump has been.

Ga's are still elected. "Hard on Crime" still works as a campaign slogan to this day.

We have a deeper societal perception to fix first before we can even think about a justice system focused on rehabilitation. It'd also be nice to remove that certain clause in the 13th amendment while we're at it.
