Van Hollen and Booker showing how representatives in government should be working for their constituents. I hope their aim is to be as annoying as possible until something good comes of it, but I worry Bukele will just arrest them and further erode the numbers we have in Congress.
Correct, although I imagine they don’t want to risk the optics of coming to the rescue of everyone only to find out after a court case that at least one of those people were actually guilty, even though you’d have saved hundreds from wrongful imprisonment and stood up for the constitution.
Voters are just too dumb, I guess.
I mean that would be a win. You can show why due process is important and that justice is served with it.
How is it a loss to use the justice system as it was written to convict someone of a crime?
If Democrats are so worried about messaging that they’ll let innocent people rot in prison and only attempt to save one guy for a “win” that just means they actually don’t care about any of them.
