I’m not saying the system is perfect. There’s no such thing as a perfect system. But throwing away the entire concept of due process, just because rich people have the advantage of hiring better lawyers, is not the answer.
There are definitely ways to reform the system to make it more equitable…but skipping the parts where evidence is required for a conviction, or closing all possibilities for appeals? No. All that does is give people like Trump the perfect weapon to use against their enemies. None of us are safe, if we abandon those foundational principles.
If anyone else was a 34 time convicted felon they would be spending life without parole in jail.
But do go on about how the law is definitely working, and does affect the rich.
