(Now if the decent Left—one must hope that such a group exists—can only make some necessary reassessments regarding the party that many of them have been supporting and the media that many of them have been believing…. Well, one can always hope, I guess….)

Yes.

The judge limited the questions to an unusual degree during jury selection.

He admitted that he had no idea how much political interest this case would have and how much coverage – including criticism of the judge and the threats to the jury – it would get. Impossibly naive.

Every lawyer I respect who listened to the judge’s jury instructions said they were tremendously confusing and increased the difficulty for the jury in understanding the legal issues.

He should never never have allowed the enhanced drone video “evidence” in as evidence. It was highly prejudicial, was not correctly sourced as to its provenance (a big no-no-no), the expert witness about it was not an expert, and no witness testified as to what it showed but instead it was the prosecution itself that attested to the supposed fact that the footage showed Rittenhouse pointing the gun at Ziminski. A travesty.

What are you doing crossing state lines? Did you show your papers? LOL.

Seriously, the Left is cooking something up with this topic and it ain’t good.

The Left must be totally and completely CRUSHED in the next two elections. And in order to do that, the GOP has to FIX the election laws in the key states. The RNC needs to reverse engineer Mollie Hemingway’s “Rigged.”

If I could figure out how to post links, I’d post a link to a WSJ commentary I just read by Barton Swaim: “The Impossible Insurrection of January 6.” Swaim claims, correctly, I believe, that no coup d’état could have taken place because the legal, governmental, cultural and educational institutions in the US all back the Democrats and would have resisted at all levels. Please read the commentary — Swaim makes many good points and has good examples.

One might hope he is tempered, not shattered, by the punishment. He is one interesting kid.

The verdict was heartening. I’ll go further – if we, the people of this country, don’t vote dems out of office in the coming midterms, we will deserve what we get – our own version of China, which is already half way here. With the poor economy, bumbling executive, the whole police as criminals narrative, I’m hopeful we can tip the scale.

I always tell my wife that with the defeat of Trump in 2020, we are in the 2nd-3rd inning of a long, drawn out phase in this country. I don’t think the traditionalists are going to just roll over and accept the trouncing of our constitution. Nor are the idiot dems who love the progressive agenda going to stop their destruction.

We have a long way to go, folks.

Only an escalation of their lying and deceitful tactics will result when their is no legal consequence for the individuals involved. But it will take a constitutional amendment to accomplish that but given the public’s division, its a ‘non-starter’.

Given the left’s ideological imperative to impose the tyranny of their created majority upon America, coupled with the left’s weaponization of the legal and political fields, I see no constitutional process that can resolve our differences.

Yawrate,

Indeed, the left has weaponized the process. Same metric for reform applies as above.
