Republicans have little faith in democracy or the jury system.

[kentuck]

They seem to believe that no one can get a fair trial if the jury is chosen from a population that is primarily Democratic by Party registration?

Why else would they not rush to clear their name if they are charged with a serious crime? If they are innocent as they profess, then why so fearful at facing a jury of your peers?

It is anti-American to distrust the cornerstone of our democracy, the justice system, in such a manner.

Perhaps, just maybe, there is another reason Republicans do not want to go in front of a jury?

1. GOP leaders know that they and Trump are guilty of crimes.

They are perfectly willing to trash the US criminal justice system to protect themselves and Trump.

[NewHendoLib]

2. They project. They imagine Democrats are as corrupt as they are.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

3. Courts of Law are where lies come to die. The bigger the lie the more gruesome the death.

Get out your Big Lie shovels, little lie picks, there are graves to be dug!

…truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth, under penalty of perjury…and the wrath of your god!

The anti social media mantra that is kryptonite to liars.

A place dedicated to uncovering the truth, goes through REAL evidence with fine tooth comb…full time job!

Frightening, to some.

10. Including the Supreme Court?

[Alexander Of Assyria]

12. Of course! In theory and structure, should be the most supreme of lie killers...corruption has

ruined the ideal there as all can see plainly……but trial courts, only place with witnesses and testimony etc…courts of record…deathbed for lies.

4. They have faith in it to "Lock Her Up" and "Get Hunter Biden"

The Hunter hunters just don't accept being the hunted.

[kentuck]

7. Yes, it's good for getting your political enemies...

...but little else, especially if a Republican is charged.

[Mr. Ected]

8. That "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" that Hillary first brought up in 1998

Has revealed itself in Georgia, bigly.

To the extent that the Republican governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, signed a bill into law on Friday that allows a panel to remove prosecutors from cases. Never mind truth, justice and the American way: let's go with graft, corruption and Putin's way.

[kentuck]

9. I suppose there might be a constitutional question if he tried to remove by himself?

So they create a "panel" to do the dirty work.

[gab13by13]

11. He creates a panel to do his dirty work.

[former9thward]

18. Do you have a problem with the same law in NY?

The one which allows NY governors to remove elected prosecutors?

6. There is a sizable portion of Republicans and Independents that still do...................

But the loudest, rudest, violent ones tend to be the most notable ones with the help of social media and corporate media.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

14. Bingo...if the mass media doesn't mention it much, did it really happen or exist?

Perception isn’t everything but its been given a huge lift over reality by social media crap.

Like routine military encounters being inflated into anything else worthy of social media panic.

13. Until they sue someone else. MAGA loves to sue. NT

[allegorical oracle]

15. True, but must confess that my faith in the legal system would flag if the tables were

turned. Imagine a Repug-led impeachment or trials ginned up by the likes of Jordan, MTG, Gaetz, Cruz, etc. We'd be sweating bullets. It's the result of the extreme polarization that exists. Neither side trusts the other.

[Hortensis]

16. Unfortunately, the whole world is forced believe in the danger to selves and others

that our right wing and other destructive types have become. Major international plans, including large-scale, united action against the climate crisis, have to wait until leaders learn the outcome of OUR next general election.

Taking down the monster our right wing created and became is everyone's job, but above all of all who participated. Of course those culpable don't want to admit what they've done, to face the jury of their peers. Including those on the left who believe in absolution by righteous noise and are once again pushing with loony virtue toward the cliff we all can see ahead.

"A democracy if you can keep it."

To the walls.

17. As long as it is POC who are being found guilty

they fully believe that the jury system works.
