The word of the day, which I hope to hear but alas will not, is βremandβ.
Sigh.
Pre-trial incarceration isn't meant to be a punishment. There's no interpretation of reality in which Trump represents a "flight risk".
@mcfate His crimes are ongoing.
Two words: "due process".
@mcfate Two other words:βNational Securityβ.
I think there is room for a healthy debate about the natural tension and cross purposes of due process and national security, if we can start by agreeing that both are laudable and neither should be absolute.
Sorry, you don't get to do away with due process in the name of "national security".
That's autocracy.
Upsetting you isn't a threat to national security, anyway.
Maybe you missed it, but you just advocated for summary, extrajudicial, arbitrary imprisonment for anyone you feel like calling a "terrorist".
I'm not in favor of that.
@Boyceaz
Oh, were you debating? Usually that involves facts, not pointless rhetoric.
I mean, having scrolled up to the top, it looked like you were disappointed to be deprived of a chance to enjoy a sort of cheap sense of vengeance from seeing Trump "locked up". You were mad that he wasn't going to be "remanded", right?
You wanted him locked up for "national security", and due process be damned, apparently.
What did I miss here?
