24. "When was the last time they made changes to the judicial system?"
Fri Mar 8, 2019, 03:35 PM
Mar 2019

What changes to the judicial system can Democrats make - other than nominating judges, which POTUS does, and our POTUS isn't a Democrat... Can you specify what changes to "the judical system" you are talking about?

You don't seem to understand what Democratic leaders can and can't do.

So, are you answering my question about "who is faking the outrage?" with Democratic leadership?

What "evolution and growth" are you talking about? Can you can you be less general with the description?

What could Democratic leaders to do about the "affluenza" ruling? You seem to want to blame them for not undoing the ruling, or preventing this judge from making the ruling, but you haven't stated what it is that they could have done - just that you are mad, and have decided to be mad at Democratic leaders...

They spoke out - are you saying that was "fake outrage" too?

Do you think we are helpless, at the mercy of the system as it is right now?


Are we still talking about judges and sentencing? I'm frustrated too, but I don't wring my hands over what can't be changed - which includes that ruling on affluenza.

There have been changes made in the past. It's about time to make some changes.


What changes do you propose? You seem to think that there are some that Democrats are refusing to make - can you point them out for us?

Well, I think our legal system isn't set in stone, right?


It's not made of playdough, either. What are you referring to when you say "legal system?" Juries? Local ordinances? Specific judges? Sentencing guidelines?

Again - you seem to have this generalized anger about Democratic leaders not changing "the system" immediately when you're angry at something, and it's purposeful on the part of Democratic leaders who are "faking" outrage.
