The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Here's what Turley says about it:
“It is very clear, they say you can’t make political contributions and he did,” Turley said on “Fox and Friends” after co-host Ainsley Earhardt mentioned the donations. “And the fact it is ‘de minimus’ or small, really, I think, misses the point. You make donations to show your support, that is what that $15 did.”

“What’s also concerning for many is that Merchan was not randomly selected, he was hand-picked as the judge for this case, and many of us don’t understand it,” Turley continued. “You have a judge who is donor to the president, whose daughter is a major Democratic operative, you would think this would be an easy call, there are plenty of other judges.”


And this
Unless you're willing to give up on the idea that the criminal justice as a whole could ever be administered fairly, you have to postulate that a random selection of people processed through the mutual jury selection powers that both the prosecution and defense have is capable of returning a fair verdict.

...is the way it's supposed to be, but as we've seen, things aren't functioning as they should be.

Are you willing to open up all the jails and prisons because no one got a fair trial?

I live on the West Coast. The new norm thanks to the left is to not put anyone in jail in the first place.
