oh neat. another moment in amerikkkan democracy where one unelected judge has the unilateral power to sentence trump to between 0 and 136 years in jail. the choice has profound implications. very cool situation we have here. very popular control of the government for things to develop this way.

Wow there's no higher court or appellate review or precedent or professional norms constraining a new york trial judge that's crazy

well the really fun part is that those guys tend to be even more conservative and even less accountable.

but i get it, no jokes, the bourgeois justice system does not deserve to be satirized for its relative unaccountability to public scrutiny and review.
