  • Luigi Mangione attorneys seek dismissal of state murder case

    Jump

  • We usually don't like saying that due to a phenomeome called 'Trial by public opinion'. He has not yet been proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt, neither can you prove so. Decreeing someone guilty, even outside of court, without proof, can negatively influence jurors to deliver a guilty verdict even if the defense creates a reasonable doubt.

  • And what next? Ban political expression in public? Ban protests? Ban unions? Banning free public assembly, including for religious purposes, is a one way ticket towards dictatorship.

  • I'm not saying I agree with the doctrine; in fact I think it's unjust and would prefer it being tossed, though I seriously doubt he has any chance of succeeding on this claim, especially with the current SCOTUS. And I doubt the state's lawyers are that incompetent as to ignore it.

  • Under the Double Sovereignty doctrine, the Double Jeopardy clause doesn't apply in this case tho. Hence, you can be charged for the same offense twice in both stage and federal court.

  • Just wait until you hear that the US fully repealed all laws penalizing sodomy (which included homosexual intercourse) between two consenting adults in 2003, when the Supreme Court declared that such laws were unconstitutional under the equal protection clause (Lawrence V Texas).

    The progress in that regard was fortunately very quick. In 2009, first states started legalizing gay marriage, in 2013 SCOTUS decided that even gay pairs from states that banned gay marriage can receive benefits if they have a valid marriage license from a states that allowed it (US v Windsor), striking down the shameful Defense of Marriage Act, and in 2015, it was at last decided that the constitution protects gay marriage, making it legal in all states (Oberfeller et al V Hodges). In 2020, in an opinion paradoxically written by Neil Gorsuch, a Trump appointee, the court decided that the protection guaranteed by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 applied to LGBTQ folks as well (Bostock V Clayton County).

  • Remember to ask FSB to refill your chatgpt credits so you can at least spill longer strings of garbage. And Putin's government is a fascist regime.

  • Being able to publicly express their opinions, even religion, is a human right and fundamental constitutional right in any democracy. Stripping it would strip the country of freedom of speech and democracy as whole.

  • No, we should built impenetrable wall between the state and religion, but right to believe and exercise religion is a very fundamental and basic human right.
