    I didn’t say “don’t fix anything because so much is broken” so it seems like you do subscribe to it since you brought it up.

    I’m just trying to keep up with you moving the goalposts. First it was “grand juries aren’t remotely the problematic part” to “they’re not the biggest problem”.

    You asked why I commented originally, I explained, then refuted you with a source. Don’t get mad at me for your own spurious claim.

      By comparison to the other issues they arent remotely problematic.

      Nothing i said is contradictory, so you can cut that crap now.

      Edit:

      Annnnddd…

      Americans seem to think ranking them is more important than addressing all of them.

      None of these problems has a “bigger role” than the others because if you fix one the system is still broken.

      Yeah you did.

        No I didn’t. If you fix one the system is still broken, meaning one cannot have a “bigger role” as they all cause a failure in the US justice system. You have to fix all of the issues. Of course you have to start somewhere but that starting point is subjective.

        Nothing i said is contradictory, so you can cut that crap now.

        Contradictory by definition means inconsistent and going from “not remotely” to “not as big a role” is inconsistent. “Not remotely” means not at all and “not as big a role” is inconsistent with “not at all”.

          You have to fix all of the issues.

          Yeah, dont bother fixing it at all unless you can fix everything. So… Exactly what I said you said?

          “Not remotely” means not at all and “not as big a role”

          Depends on the scale.

          And considering things can be brought back in front of a grand jury because its not a criminal trial, yeah, its basically nothing by comparison as a problem.

          Say more bullshit about moving goalposts and I’ll just go ahead and block.

            Go ahead and block me. You’re clearly twisting my words to fit what you want to think.

            Why crop out the second sentence?

            You have to fix all of the issues. Of course you have to start somewhere but that starting point is subjective.
