minus-squaresocsa@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·18 days agoI feel like there’s a weird number of people here who are rooting against the boring legalese solution to this problem.
minus-squarepeoplebeproblems@midwest.socialOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·18 days agoI don’t think it’s weird - we’re used to seeing the rich and powerful get away with everything. But it is boring. And time consuming. Something that the judges admit themselves. We also do need that same energy, because even if the courts deputize and enforce contempt, there will be resistance to it.
minus-squareNoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·17 days agoPeople aren’t rooting against it, only realizing that it’s not gonna work. America is too far gone for boring legalese to matter.
minus-squareyou_are_dust@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·17 days agoI agree with what some others have said. I’m not rooting against it. I’m doubting that anything will actually come of it. I would absolutely love for something to happen.
