Better to be double, triple, quadruple careful; and better to err on the side of caution, than to kill an innocent person. And no one in this thread has suggested that we "let a killer run free and kill again."

The cases in which people have been freed from death row because they were exonerated by DNA evidence or other facts that later came to light were also found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. They were innocent. Would you kill them too?

From the story you linked to: "The agreement between the pair permits the House Judiciary Committee, of which Jordan is chairman, to hold a deposition with Mark Pomerantz on May 12, as well as allows Bragg to send one lawyer to accompany Pomerantz for the purpose of objecting to privileged...

Supreme Court Protects Access to Abortion Pill The title of this post is the CNN headline about this development. Many in the media are hailing this as a great victory for Biden and the Democrats. And it is interesting to note that this conservative court took this action, with all three...

DeSantis Signs Bill Lowering FL Death-Penalty Threshold TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Thursday that will no longer require unanimous jury recommendations for judges to impose death-penalty sentences. This one troubles me. They're letting a single case (Parkland...

There is nothing stopping Trump from suing the mainstream media companies. I think he actually has done so a time or two.

The appeals court just issued a stay. The judge's ruling will not go into effect until the appeals court has had time to consider Bragg's motion.

I agree. Weather-related disruptions in the fuel supply are just that, and only that, weather-related disruptions. Congrats on your new car. You're helping lead the way to the EV world to come.

Another Case Where Trump's Big Lie Has Consequences; $5 Million This Time The thing about the Big Lie is, ... well, it's a lie. And lies have consequences. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/20/mypillow-ceo-lindell-election-fraud-debunked.html

Are the Wheels Beginning to Come Off the DeSantis Wagon? This post relies on a Politico article that cites unnamed sources. I generally put little stock in such pieces because we have no way of knowing if the writer is telling the truth or just making something up they want others to believe...

Trump Stronger, DeSantis Weaker ... In Florida! "April 19 (Reuters) - Donald Trump continued to rack up endorsements in Florida for his presidential campaign on Wednesday, outmaneuvering the state's Governor Ron DeSantis on his home turf."

For now, yes it is. Bragg appealed the decision. We'll see how this judges ruling holds up at the appellate level. But for now, Braggg's arguements did not prevail.

Poor, weak Fox could not afford lawyers? Fox came to court with lawyers whose offices are in strip malls? Fox hired just one or two lawyers because they wanted to save money? Fox hired Sydney Powell and Rudy Giuliani to represent them? Nope. None of that. Fox settled this case not because their...

Had the super-majority and/or the speaker stripped him of his committee assignments and/or censured him and left it at that, the name Justin Jones would be as obscure today in the country as it was before. His district voters did not expel him, the Republican super-majority did; and that's what...

The only way to know that is to ask them. I know nothing about their mindset but it is not inconceivable they consider Jones one of their chief advocates and friends. On the other hand, they may consider the casket gesture highly offensive or heartbreaking. Unless they tell us, we won't know...

Trump, Christie & Pence Trash DeSantis's Disney Stance Trump: “DeSanctus is being absolutely destroyed by Disney. His original P.R. plan fizzled, so now he’s going back with a new one in order to save face,” Trump said on Truth Social, unveiling a new nickname for the governor. (Source)...

I think in this case the House did indeed enforce it's rules and Jones complied. I understand there was a protest going on outside the building in which a number of protesters had a number of those small coffins, which they were using as props to make their point about gun control. Apparently...

Fox & Dominion Statements Fox Corp. just released a statement: “We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems. We acknowledge the court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false. This settlement reflects Fox’s continued commitment to...

I have my answer. Under the terms of the settlement, Fox News will not be required to apologize or admit spreading false claims on network programing.

The difference is not statements about the machines reported as news. The difference is defamation and malice. You are comparing apples and oranges.
