Would you prefer the case go to trial before it’s established if there’s sufficient probable cause? Or if only the state gets to make that determination?
Almost every other jurisdiction in functional democracies do not have grand juries and don’t plan to implement such a mechanism, nor are they implored to do so, are they all bootlickers?
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.
“America does one thing right” != “America does everything right”. The courts are the only thing holding Trump in check right now. Whats going to put a check on a European trump?

Given that grand jury indictment rates are like >90%, what’s actually being achieved here?
+/-10% of cases with bullshit evidence aren’t going to trial
That’s probably a pretty good rate considering probable cause is the bar.
Also given there’s no defence, I should hope they could almost always win a completely uncontested review of evidence.
Well, look at the article…
Yes
Ok bootlicker

one of the faces of American exceptionalism

Separation of power still works with a populist leader when a strong constitution is in place.
