      Wouldn’t that be something? If the people collectively decided, “Nah this is fine. This was reasonable.”

      I doubt it but that would be beautiful.

        Could even stop before it gets that far. It’ll be difficult to convene a jury with so many candidates dismissed for saying “nah, fuck health insurance CEOs”.

        I wouldn’t rely on nullification. I instead think this guy deserves a full pardon. We pardon domestic abuse victims who kill their abusers, is this situation really so different?

          There’s no one part of the system we should rely on. What I say I do so with hope in the full knowledge that we’re likely to see the corruption re-assert itself.

      I think they can just move it as a judgement as a matter of law, or whatever else rule applies. It was a pretty clear case afterall
