A jury of 12 random new yorkers has more courage than most Republicans in the US Senate.

I know Durbin is an anti abortion pos, but what did he do re: this case? I'm out of the loop and Google is useless now

Nothing to do with the case. Just a general sour vibe about recent SCOTUS stuff. Didn't mean to cause confusion.

Oh ok, I just saw that now. He needs to fuck off back to hell

Yes, thank you. Seen a lot of posts talking about how the jury had more courage than all three branches of the government. And, uh, no --- Trump *WAS* impeached twice. And it's not the fault of Democrats that he wasn't convicted.

We should choose politicians by random selection too.

Athenian democracy worked that way. In fact they deliberately ended elections by vote because they found the rich and popular always subverted the system by influencing election candidates. Worth trying for a percent of the representatives.

Yet 💀🇺🇸 just accentuates where we are in this mango-makeupped; #stochastic #terrorist-ridden, #gun stuffed country where #jurists are considered "brave" or "courageous"to serve in a basic civic duty.

They were randomly selected, whereas senators have to be approved by multiple lobbyists and prove that they will bend the knee

I have mouldy cheese in my fridge with more courage than most republican senators

To take nothing away from the jury’s exceptional courage, that’s a very low bar.

More courage than any American elite regardless of Party.

Sure if you mistake a lack of courage for craven desire for political power. Politicians also have the super power / ability to not feel shame
