   @peteriskrisjanis @BobApril @Teri_Kanefield Exactly — That misplaced “hope” makes preserving democracy “someone else’s problem”.

     @mjf_pro @peteriskrisjanis @Teri_Kanefield A successful and healthy democracy depends on an informed electorate. Our justice system is the way we have developed to determine the truth in questions of fact, criminality, and so forth. That makes it a quite appropriate place to put our hope. I want it to work faster and more efficiently than it has, faster than Ms. Kanefield wants to believe is reasonable, fast enough to reach those conclusions BEFORE the next Presidential election. That's a far cry from making it "someone else's problem.
