Grand jury decisions aren’t remotely the problematic part.
This is wrong and it’s what I responded to.
A grand jury refusing to indict might mean the evidence wasn’t sufficient or it might mean the prosecutor didn’t really want an indictment.
I’d personally say cops, prosecutors going for the easy win, the structure around plea bargains, judges made by selection, judges elected with no knowledge or experience required, etc, play far bigger roles in the problems with the system of justice, but sure.
Personally I’d say the issue with the US justice system is that it’s a system full of problems and 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. This is just one representation of the endemic issues within the US system of government.
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.
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”.
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.

“Don’t fix anything because so much is broken” and “All problems are of the same importance” are not, and will never be, philosophies I subscribe to.
You do you bud.

By comparison to the other issues they arent remotely problematic.
