A #US #judge on Thursday sided with two #NewJersey #criminal #defendants who sought to block a former personal #lawyer to President #DonaldTrump, #AlinaHabba, from #prosecuting them based on a claim she was #unlawfully appointed as the state's top #federal #prosecutor https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/judge-rules-alina-habba-was-unlawfully-appointed-us-attorney-new-jersey-2025-08-21/#ruleoflaw #democracy #government #courts #law #politics #maga

When can we start #prosecuting current #administration members for #crimes against #humanity? If that's not possible, they should have to face #civil trials for gobs and gobs of money that #bankrupts them forever. There should be consequences for such #sick, #deliberate, #criminal acts. "Following orders" is NOT a valid defence.

Harris Visits MAGA Areas of Pennsylvania, to Cut Into Trump’s Edge

The vice president, who appeared in #Johnstown and #Wilkes-#Barre, said she would
❇️ #remove “#unnecessary degree #requirements” for some federal jobs,

a pitch to Mr. Trump’s base of voters without a college education in a part of the state where he expects to perform well.

Ms. Harris also emphasized her work in California
❇️ #prosecuting Mexican #drug #cartels,
and said as president she would continue to go after them “for pushing poisons like fentanyl on our children.”

The vice president’s Trump-country pitch amounted to a continuation of her appeal to moderate and right-leaning voters that began at the Democratic National Convention last month
and continued during Tuesday’s debate with the former president.

#Prosecuting #Trump is perilous. Ignoring his #conduct would be worse.

…Most federal prosecutions have the government defending the interests of society writ large — against drug trafficking, or corporate fraud, or gun crimes. This prosecution is different. The #UnitedStates is defending itself, recoiling against an effort to undo the #democracy that Trump swore an oath to protect.

WaPo Opinion On this Independence Day, we should reaffirm the #twinpillars of #democracy: #Voters (not the mob) pick their leaders, and #electedleaders (not #unelected #judges) make #policy decisions for which they are held accountable. Just as we need to preserve sanctity of elections (by #prosecuting #coup #instigators), democracy defenders need to address #judicialradicals’ #gross #distortion of our system, resulting in current #SupremeCourt’s subversion of #democracy. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/07/04/supreme-court-illegitimate-self-government/

#Prosecuting a Former #President Is Not an Easy Decision. A #Criminal Law Professor Explains Why.

@gregladen Agreed. It may be true in theory, but it is dishonest to say “no one is above the law” in a practical sense. Enforcing the #law, #investigating, #prosecuting, obtaining conviction, and incarceration are all time and resource intensive processes. The “big fish” have or can obtain all the resources they need to contest and delay each step of the legal process. Public servants cannot afford to devote so much time and resources to the big fish unless it becomes a political issue. Even then, political pressure changes like the weather. So, in a practical sense, some people can evade the law. The law still applies to them, but they frequently do get away with their crimes.

The simple fact is that we should never have been in a position as a country where we were #prosecuting #security #engineers acting in good faith. This type of legislation is brought forward by those who barely understand what #computers are and only contributes to increasing the chances that our industries, our companies, our schools, our hospitals, and our places of worship are vulnerable targets for malicious actors.
