Because they are ‘sovereign’ in so far as the powers that are not delegated to the federal government in the constitution. That’s why they are sovereign states and not nations.

Brother, have you tried simply putting a source in front of me? You typed all that shit out (that I’m not gonna read) when I simply asked you to provide a source. One source.

If you actually need a source to believe something very much qed, then you’ll obviously just reject whatever source is put in front of you, further entrenching your childish heuristic. Also, if you actually have a sincere interest in determining whether there are instances of democrats interfering in prosecutions of democrats, you can look yourself or enroll in a U.S. history course of some kind since that is all it would really take. But you don’t and so an argument is futile. You’ve reached your conclusion and the threshold to change that doesn’t exist. I’m an experienced debater against authoritarians and know you’re tricks!
You’ve all wasted a bunch of time responding to a person who thinks this view you all hold that being loyal to something slightly less unacceptable (though part of the same broken machine) somehow gives you a moral high ground is moronic; you’re sinking time and text into a person who thinks you are actively lying to and deluding yourself for bullshit feel good points. I posted so that the other people whose jaws were dropping as they scrolled through just how simpleminded, irrational, hypocritical, and gullible your points are know that there are other sane people out there willing to embrace the downvotes of the hive mind and call out the infantile stupidity for what it is. I’m not even American lol.

Wait, there was a witness who spoke to Trump? Last I'd heard, Trump just completely fabricated the whole thing. Yes, it's known that an indictment is likely due to the fact that the grand jury offered for him to testify (standard practice at that point in the procedure), but Trump pulled that whole "this Tuesday" thing completely out of his ass, whipped up the media, and congressional Republicans took the bait.

> have you heard of ADA’s.
Of course, and I don't think anyone thinks it's Bragg that's prosecuting every case himself. You're aware that the DAs office has finite resources, and because those resources are finite they can't prosecute all crime. That's why they have to make deals like offering a lesser charge to get some kind of conviction.
If this moves forward it will be a big use of those finite resources. Surely you understand that prosecuting Trump means those resources aren't prosecuting other crimes.

Simply put it was because the colonies were separate entities that banded together to form a country and the southern colonies preferred a confederation similar to how the colonies were rather than a federalized country. The northern colonies preferred a federalized country, mostly.
They tried the confederacy for about 10 years and it didn't work so they created the Constitution and a federal republic. The South has ever since been trying to create a confederacy once through war and now through laws weakening the federal government. The Constitution is a compromise of those ideals.
I personally think the Federal government should have the majority of the power that they then devolve to states. Being that I'm a non-white person, historically that makes sense, since state's rights have almost always been the antithesis to civil rights and it's been in the federal government's interest most of the time to, at least nominally, promote equal civil rights..

They're demolishing a sunbathing platform and a few hundred feet of footpaths, then packing down landfill and walling off sections while laying new footpaths and some sod and saplings.
$20,000,000 would be overly expensive. Anything above that is going to corruption.

11:15 p.m. Saturday morning?

Cool. Then every President is going down. I’m no fan of Trump, tired if that idiot but this is a can of worms. If he’s indicted I would imagine Biden will be soon thereafter. I’m sure they have all committed crimes. Obama for 850k in campaign finance fraud. Bush committed war crimes w fake evidence. The Clintons, well that could be a lot of indictments.
You get the picture. But whatever, let’s light this candle and watch it burn. I guess.

People here seem to think that Mr. Bragg runs the office alone, have you heard of ADA’s. NYC has a budget like any other city and as a tax paying citizen, I want all crime to be prosecuted.

That’s such a bullshit argument and you know if they broke the law then they should be indicted. Presidents should not be above the law.

I'm not presently a NYC resident, but I was when the hush money payment occurred.
I don't have a valid opinion on whether or not Bragg should do this, as he doesn't work for me. If you live in NYC presently, is this endeavor worth the resources that will go into it considering the alternatives - such as prosecuting other crimes, especially violent crime?

If they indict Trump, then the Biden’s, Clinton’s and Bush’s will be indicted soon thereafter.
Slippery slope ahead.

why would people who will leave nyc in 5 years to go start their big boy lives care about what happens to nyc in 30 years? Theyre just upset their glow up fuck around era in nyc is being blighted by...construction noises or something.
