I’m from San Francisco and have watched and voted for Kamala Harris since her first race.
Here are some unfortunate truths: Kamala Harris is an absolute dogshit politician who has zero constituency, zero political strategy skills, zero retail politics skills, and seemingly zero ability to break out of the box she’s mostly gotten herself into.
Thank you! Am I going to run into transcoding issues with 7th gen i5 on several streams? I only have six users, and all but one of them have modern Roku or Apple TV devices.
Oh, and should I use the 258GB M.2 already in the box for the config and database, or use the 2TB 970 EVO SSD?
Unsure. The MAGA players are true believers, and all of right-wing media will be pushing jury nullification by the time of the actual trial. Even if she follows the letter of the plea agreement, the introduction of countering statements by the defense could be enough to convince a nutty juror with nullification beaten into their head by Hannity and Facebook to pull the trigger in the jury room.
I do wonder if the defense can cross using her many countering media statements after pleading, to insert doubt in the jury.
Seems like a smart play on her part, if she can’t be punished for public statements. She can honor the letter of the plea, but provide a mountain of countering public statements.
In your first paragraph, are you referring to an assumption that the simulators would be running lots of what I think I’ve seen called grandfather simulations?
I’m not a lawyer, but have read a bunch about nullification, and it’s an interestingly powerful and simple cheat code in the hands of a juror who otherwise behaves normally during voir dire, the trial, and deliberations.
Because it’s so powerful, the justice system pretty much hates citizens knowing about it. Aggressive steps are often taken to remove protesters who try to make jurors aware of nullification, to the point of violating free-speech rights imo.
If a juror goes full John-Grisham-novel-style, and hides their intent to nullify, and they don’t have a findable personal history that clearly conflicts with what they said during voir dire, there isn’t anything the justice system can do to stop that juror from completely ratfucking the government’s case.
And, there would be extraordinary benefits to doing so. A single juror who nullified the government’s case would become a multimillionaire in short order, and they would be a massive hero to 30% of America.
