In reply to the discussion: Colorado judge who sentenced election denier Tina Peters to prison receives threats [View all]Bev54
(11,978 posts)39. I am not overreacting in sense of the word and certainly did not make SCOTUS explicitly my point.
My point was the system being overwhelmed and you may interpret the decision but it is quite simply not clear and I believe that is on purpose. So if he gets someone in his DOJ to crime for him, he is totally untouchable the way they have written it, but that is for the experts to decipher not me. Please accept that I know what my point is when I post it.

The overlying problem has existed for years. The problem is local bodys (local governments) CAN NOT stop or control.....
