The prosecutor was elected on promises to punish Trump.  The judges are elected in partisan elections as Democrats.  But they aren't the only players.  There was a jury too, and the jury didn't have a dog in the fight, yet they were persuaded.

But I don't think DeSantis really wants to have that conversation.  I don't think he wants to talk about a partisan justice system, because we can easily turn that around and look at what he has done with Disney's oversight board, and his removal of various elected local officials, and with him ignoring his state constitution while he gerrymanders congressional districts.  

Maybe Ron could have sat this one out.

Who were they?

Andrew Warren, 13th circuit prosecutor, and Monique Worrel, 9th circuit prosecutor, and four Broward County school board members.  

Note that in each case, Ron had ways to get the outcome he said he wanted without removing the official.  He can always authorize prosecutors to investigate and prosecute crimes outside their circuit, and he can have other agencies go in and install the door locks in schools that he wants.

People act like this the worse it’s ever been, it’s not even that bad right now.

Dude.. You have no idea how real people feel. And it's already established you want to appease the evil in the world. You're the left in a nutshell. Let me stick my fat, [BLEEP] head in the sand

It is that bad. A politicized judiciary is not what our founding fathers wanted.

Unfortunately the judiciary has been political since the beginning.  Though it has gone in cycles of being more and less so.  It's obviously more so now.

No matter what kind of selection process you dream up, partisans will come in and organize ways to make it partisan. It's what they do.

Just like Trump said, you have to make it, Too Big To Rig..

To be completely honest? I think it's already too big for them to rig.

This is the correct attitude.
I'm not going to vote for Trump but I'm not going to wish for a civil war either. Americans solve conflict by voting.
