Further down the fascist rabbit hole we go. It’s kind of scary to think about what the AG is supposed to be doing, and Barr has been doing.

Attorney General William Barr expressed frustration with some local and state prosecutors' handling of riot-related crimes, telling top Justice Department prosecutors that he wants them to be aggressive in bringing charges related to protest violence, including exploring using a rarely used sedition law, according to a person familiar with the matter.

It's a theme that has gained traction in conservative media, which Barr follows closely, and he is known to focus on the issue from time to time. Still, some federal prosecutors were taken aback last week when the attorney general brought up the possibility of charging violent protesters with sedition, which makes it a crime to conspire to overthrow the US government.”

The Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive bail. Bail cannot be more than is reasonably necessary to ensure the defendant's appearance at trial.

In the Lancaster case the judge was using bail as a deterrent.

Hanging would be too good for him.

Absolutely unconstitutional but we know cons don’t care about the Constitution any more if they ever did.

Forgive me but I’m gonna go with the judge on this one.

I agree , hang Barr for treason.

Fine, just understand the path you are following. Kidnappers and child molesters often don’t get million dollar bonds.

But carry on with your love of unconstitutional bail amounts. We all know it’s a disposable document in your world when you disagree with it.

 

[William Bonney]

So charging insurrectionists with sedition is out of line now?

 

[gonegolfing]

Good. These liberal asses that have attacked the country should have already been dealt with. Get them in jail and keep them there until they no longer can harm person or property.

An elected personal injury lawyer. Good call. All I’ve got is the Supreme Court precedent.
