one man's "whataboutism" is another man's "rule of law". If the issue is that these laws are expansive, vague, and difficult to enforce then they should be eliminated, not selectively enforced.
- ModernMech 4y agoThe element of intent makes many laws difficult to enforce, and I think that’s a good thing. Taking away the element of intent just to make laws easier to enforce would encourage prosecutions of people for accidents or honest mistakes, which I don’t see as an improvement.
- ericmay 4y agoSure. Lock them up along with everyone else. I don’t really care. Here’s the growing list: Hillary Clinton Hunter Biden Donald Trump Matt Gaetz Lindsey Graham Kevin McCarthy Lauren Boebart Rudy Giuliani Whatever number of Jan 6th co-conspirators (growing list) Let’s enforce the law right? Or are you going to play games and try to argue only Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden should have the law applied?
- someguydave 4y agoSure, if you can articulate charges and bring evidence then prosecute away. Note Joe Biden should also be on your list for bribery, as the most concerning crimes Hunter was involved with appeared to be selling access to Joe. And especially don’t forget Obama for the “paperwork crime” possessing government records. Probably most current and former government employees should be charged on the same basis too.
- ericmay 4y ago> Sure, if you can articulate charges and bring evidence then prosecute away. Agreed. I'm hopeful we can get Trump here (Jan 6th + these documents seems like enough to reasonable assume guilt though that as always needs to be determined via due process), start with the worst offenders. Enough is enough. Then we can build from there.
