    Maybe they should fix the justice system if they want juries to actually act like they’re intended to.

    But they won’t, billionaires, CEOs, business execs, and other parasites will continue to do what they like and harm who they like with a slap on the wrist at most.

      Who is “they” and how might they “fix” the justice system ?

      More than half of American voters just chose to subvert the already ineffective legal system, to install a corrupt felon as dictator.

      Are you proposing that allowing a jury of peers drawn from this public ought to be able to make up the law based on the vibe of cases before them ?

        The oligarchs that own the country.

        I’m proposing that the inherent protections the judicial system gives people be used to protect Luigi.

        Justice is dead so long as billionaires can cause immeasurable death and suffering without repercussions.

        You’re operating under the incorrect assumption that the public can control the law.

        If that were the case you’d be right. But as of right now, this is the only check on their power. And it is an intentional check. The 2A was put in place to fight tyrants if it came to it, and it is quickly coming to it.
