No, they can't do that and rightfully so. The man was accused of a crime, and therefore he was a right to a trial by a jury of his peers for each and every charge.

Not only just for the purposes of future appeals, but simply because the US Constitution grants every person in the US that right.

I dont think my birth certificate or a house title will go far in the apocalyptic dystopia

I don't know, have you been paying attention? A birth certificate might save you from being sent to a prison in South America.

Doubtful.

That said, you're kind of just describing how peer review works, no?

You know how people say, "it's a free country"?

Charlie Chaplin released The Great Dictator in 1939, and while Hitler banned the film in Nazi-controlled countries, he allegedly watched it more than once after Chaplin personally arranged to have a copy sent to him (the balls on that guy).

Maybe not "death to Hitler," but it's fucking scathing, and the final speech would be considered extreme if it was released today.

Fantastic film if anyone hasn't seen it. Hysterical, on point satire.

It wasn't awful enough for Tillis if I read correctly.

Bush was definitely not nearly as evil. Cheney and Rumsfeld, maybe. Bush was a useful idiot.

lacked the full support of the GOP

Yeah, that's not how I remember it.
