Here’s something that could happen if the state court had the guts. If the defendant had his case removed to federal court, the state court could refuse to recognize the removal and prosecute the case anyway. Yes, there is the supremacy clause, but it assumes that the federal government and its administrators are acting in good faith and are not corrupt and that assumption is both naive and false.

Even if it is removed to federal court, it would still be prosecuted by state prosecutors, and would be considered a state crime. That could not be pardoned by the felon. This information came from Glenn Kirschner, a 30 year federal prosecutor in Washington DC.

Even if prosecution is delayed, there is no statute of limitations on murder.

Let us not collude with Nazis… When is it EVER OK for anyone to commit murder with no accountability? I agree that we should flood the courts with indictments, and pack the audience with protesters, cameras, and protectors of sanity, decency, and democracy. 💙💪💙

Yes. Let’s get going with this. The courts — our JUDICIARY — are our best bet.
