Indeed, it is a factory that passes mostly poor people through with plea bargaining regardless of guilt/innocence. I highly recommend people read the excellent book that reveals the whole rotten system: Courtroom 302 by Steve Bogira.
BTW, A report on Gaetz has just been released. This is the guy Trump wanted to be Attorney General!!!
Do you think this meets the threshold for recusal in the pre-trial hearings? If so, is there a precedent to follow? As I’m writing this, I’m realizing the more common colloquial precedent appears to be “I’m not biased”, then take the case, including SCOTUS.
At what point will there be one clear indicator that there is no real justice system in this country? Like, how many more things have to happen until we wake up and go, "oh shit, it's now. we are here. everything we were warned about."
This is a "conflict.."? By whom? To whom? Seriously. Keep bitching without action though... maybe "they" will have a change of heart. Bonkers.
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

It's no longer profitable to continue the illusion, folks. We're here. Time to get real.
Ken, sent you an email at your Substack address last week. Don’t know if it gets to you. Pharma and insurers are closely working together to harm us all for decades. I am an MD/MBA who uncovered how they have massively increased drug prices together - causing severe harm to all of us. It can be stopped. I know how but can’t do by myself. Hope you will review the details in the email and contact me. It is long overdue for our horrific healthcare system to end. The outrage indicates the public has had more than enough. Please contact me - my email and phone number included in email. Thanks, John Borzilleri, MD
“The judge’s ties to the healthcare business are a stark reminder of how pervasive the for-profit industry is in American life — a point made by Mangione himself.”
Will the defense ask the judge to recuse based on the timely Klippenstein news break? It’s too much to expect that she should have already done recuse herself rather than continue to paint the system in Citizens United corruption!
It's one big club and you ain't in it.
Wouldn't want to be in that club. Yuk
Our system is broken and incapable of dispensing justice.

The incestuous cesspool of those at the top. They're all compromised.
This disgusts me.

Thanks for reporting, Ken! Also saw Dan on the byline, which is cool. Is he planning on helping out more on here?
Yup! We used to work together at The Intercept
“A point made by Mangione himself” is chef kiss poetry
Shamelessly thumbing their nose at the plebs, once again.

I lived near the Zappa’s in MD. It seemed like more than a coincidence that the Booth family of actors nearby for generations.

Gulp.
“The judge’s ties to the healthcare business are a stark reminder of how pervasive the for-profit industry is in American life — a point made by Mangione himself.”
Might she need to recuse herself from this case?
The Fix is in, it's a Kangaroo Court. It's like Israel investigating its own war crimes
I wonder if the stenographers at the NYTimes ever feel sad about being scooped, all the time, by just about everybody.
They are probably too eager for their next DC cocktail party invite.
Thank you for reporting about important news the rest of main stream media is too afraid to do!
