Summary
Merrick Garland’s failure to swiftly prosecute Trump for inciting the January 6th insurrection allowed Trump to run for president again in 2024.
Garland’s slow-walking of the investigation undermined the seriousness of Trump’s actions and normalized him as a Republican front-runner.
Garland’s inaction contributed to the current state of the republic, where Trump is poised to return to the White House.
I suggest that we make everyone use a public defender. Problem solved, at least in criminal cases. Nationalize lawyers.
Why would that change speedy trial? Plenty of defendants with PDs waive speedy trial.
Will not solve delays, but will equalize the field and most likely result in egalitarian improvement in the justice system
