    @Teri_Kanefield A reminder about why folks like me remain so frustrated (stuff you probably know): For many (most?), criminal justice looks like this: 1) police/prosecutor decides someone is criminal. 2) They ruin his/her life. No judge or jury needed. Protection from this requires $ and time. Lots of both. Watching powerful people evade accountability for obvious crimes carries a special pain for us.

    Tonight seemed like a good time to delete my #twitter profile. All done now. Feels good.

    This speaks volumes about both Alito and the WSJ. Both corrupt. Bought, paid for, and unashamed. https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2023/06/21/alito-wsj-propublica-fishing-trip/
