Showing Original Post only (View all)Can a decision by a District Judge and a Special Prosecutor be appealed? [View all]
Or do we surrender everything to a dictator, without even a whimper?
In my opinion, yesterday was the saddest day in America's history. The Justice System surrendered to a criminal, with ill intent for the future of our country, for the first time in 248 years. We can no longer say that "no one is above the law."
It is such a momentous decision, it seems to me that it should be made by the highest Court in the land. Could not Joe Biden, the President, request that the case be fast-tracked to the Supreme Court? Or are we left with nothing but a "memo" from the Office of Legal Counsel in the DOJ?
Nothing less than the survival of our democracy depends on it.

OP
All the way to the Supreme Court as long as the jurisdictions agree to a hearing.

The Supreme Court won't do anything. Six justices are literally owned by Opus Dei. This is a victory for them.

I think the bigger question is do we hold them responsible for their decisions?

We are saying it's over period. Won't be appealed, and won't be brought back after 4 years.

I sense an assumption that we will survive the four years and go back to normal?
