It’s another example of the USA’s Tale of Two Justice Systems. There’s a justice system for the rich and connected, who rarely spend any time in jail between arrest and trial; and everybody else, who mostly spend many months or even years in jail before their trial due to the cash bail system, a lack of public defenders, and the overload of the court system.

I guess in this hypothetical scenario, he appointed them by accident?

Yup. Gotta love the Republican talking point that they have been repeating non-stop complaining about this.

My hope is that he spends all of 2024 tied up in this hearing, or that court appearance, or in that deposition so he doesn’t have time to campaign. And that his finances suffer for it.

I hope the next judge deems him a flight risk and denies bail. Especially in light of the severity of the next indictment.

You feel free to give up, and the rest of us will keep figuring out ways to move forward, primarily without resorting to violence other than defensive.

Right!? I’m not giving up my life to take to the streets in violence as a sacrifice on the altar of political and ideological cults until the DOJ and the whole damned apparatus actually fails in this case to act to defend/protect Democracy and every god damned bone of its carcass is broken. Until then it’s worth defending to some degree imo. There’s a lot that can go better than that between now and then. Maybe not great but better than “dead in a fire.”

No.
If you want to live under “a government of law, not men” then you don’t get there by ignoring the law, unless it’s part of an ideological protest against an unjust law.
