All the ingredients are there and it won’t take much to put it all together.

    Courts take time.

    Ignore Trump for just a minute. The average court case takes years in many cases. Isn’t that insane? Speedy trial is a joke.

      It only takes that long if your in a position of authority though.

      Meanwhile as an average citizen a cop can just decide to arrest you, make up a bullshit story and your in jail without bail that day.

      Speedy trial is a right that you have and can invoke. However, it almost always screws the defense. As such, everyone waives it.

        and that is a fair point. I feel often we have people over charged for bullshit crimes and then drag them through the system for years.

        I am a conservative, so if I am saying that then you know the system is really out of whack.
