    Congratulations, you’ve put words in my mouth. You beat that straw man so good! I never mentioned just shifting it to the DA. We have an entire civil service to use.

    And yeah they were flawed, but apparently less flawed than you. Because they understood that the people are to be protected from the state, not the other way around.

      … … Haven’t put any words in your mouth. You’re just too ignorant to recognize that you’re arguing for more centralization of power.

      You’re still doing. Is this non-existant civil service you want to create elected, or just another branch of the executive.

      Just to restate, you actually believe creating an entire new civil service with less public oversight would be easier then just combating corruption in people with elected positions? A civil service that would be less likely to become corrupt with less oversight?

      You do realize the founding fathers you venerate intentionally created three Manchus of government intentionally to protect people from the state, right? One of those branches, the one you want to get rid of, is called the judicial branch.

      Jesus, you know next to nothing of American civics and you have the gall to completely misrepresent the founding fathers to justify undoing their work to accomplish what they already created for the same person.

      I’m amazed you can even spell strawman.

        I never said I wanted to get rid of the judicial branch either. This isn’t going to be much of a conversation if you keep tilting at these strawmen.
