    Yes. Yes they are. Anyone who wants more government control of the justice system, and less accountability to the people, is a bootlicker. People in those countries are expected to trust that the state did it’s due diligence before putting someone on trial, and as the right sweeps these countries they’re going to learn why that’s a mistake.

              You are right, I’m no theorist, but there is a reason it has mostly worked so far. And as if a coup for absolute power would stop at the grand jury. It is also only protected by „just“ another court.
