Well done Tom. I wish I could find something to disagree with, but I, like you, was one of those who argued that Garland was fiddling while the Republic was being incinerated. Possibly Judge Marchan will suspend sentencing for 4 years and at least give the failed insurrectionist something to think about while he turns the White House a moldy and decrepit green.

Oh, what a great day it would be if Marchan showed the guts of an Alvin Bragg or Fani Willis and actually sentenced him to even community service where he could empty trash cans in the courthouse. In the absence of any sentencing the message is clear: There is no two-tiered justice system, just one for people of little means.

It's not a justice system at all, just an organized set of punishments and the wealthy and powerful are only on rare occasions held to account.

Not a justice system, a legal system with all kinds of rules and punishments for the little guys.
