Yes you’re right, I forgot about the bail part. And the bail system certainly is flawed. Generally aren’t you not allowed to leave your state if you’re out on bail?
It depends on the state and the bail conditions, which can be modified. Restrictions are based on priors, flight risk, violent tendency, etc.
That’s why the gag orders make the news. To your point, folks would be knocked for shit like that.
This line is being crossed on purpose. He can get his propaganda out, and if he actually gets tagged, that’s even better propaganda.
Which sucks. But, I imagine the decision-making by the courts is based on avoiding creating a political prisoner out of him. So, we deal with a flawed system, increase fines, and wait for the process to unfold.
Yes I think I have to agree that (I hope) there is a long game going on where they are minimizing the chance of asking for appeal, a slam dunk case. And of course his base would love nothing more than to have him in prison, as theb he becomes a martyr. For what’s its worth id rather live in boring times!
If there’s one lesson I’ve learned in my 48 years, it’s that boring moments are underrated and moments are overrated. Everyone says they are bored and want some excitement, but excitement doesn’t mean good things. More often than not, it is something bad. I’d rather have a boring day than an exciting one.
I still hope that one day politics will be boring again. No “if the Republican gets into office democracy might fail.” No “Trump is calling for the arrest of anyone who spoke up against him.” Just “the two major party candidates have differing opinions but both would lead this country competently.” Make Politics Boring Again!
You claim to only have 48 years on this earth, but you talk about getting back to a time that hasn’t existed in at least that long. Are you just reminiscing about rose-tinted stories you heard from your elders? The “good times” they want to return to were anything but for many of us.
How does that show lack of due process? And what do you define as “all the time?”
DeAndre Davis has been waiting 651 days in a Sacramento County jail. Charged with the murder of a 21-year-old man shot during a robbery in 2019, he hasn’t been tried and he hasn’t been sentenced — and he hasn’t even had a preliminary hearing to decide if there’s enough evidence to take him to trial.
For Davis, it’s been an agonizing ordeal made worse by the pandemic. Held without bail because of the severity of the charges
While this is all awful and should all change, it is hardly being held “without due process”
Things can be bad without being the worst thing possible.
Yes, and if he was locked up without due process, it would say something else.
They lock people up without due process awaiting trial all the time though right?
Depends, there’s certainly a good argument to be made that the bail system is flawed, etc. But trump was arraigned and is out on bail.

“May we live in interesting times” and all that.

Exactly, me too!

No. No they literally do not.

Due process does not mean, “scott free until there’s a guilty verdict”, you utter numpty. These aren’t all civil charges.
I suppose being rude makes you feel good, strong, and right.
I know he’s rich, but a 200k bail is not Scott free. People pay bail all the time.
If he wasn’t wealthy and white he’d be behind bars right now awaiting trial.
Yes, rich people pay bail all the time. We shouldn’t we make a political prisoner because of that.
The wheels of justice grind very slowly. The bigger the case, the longer it takes to build.
But yes, I’m getting impatient. There should be consequences for trying to overthrow the government.
