There's simply no way our justice system is prepared to deal with the scope or magnitude of these crimes, and it can't be trusted to.

Exactly. There is no good faith. I've watched the checks/balances go down like dominoes. There aren't three branches. There is one giant crime stew.
-
Even before it good faith and checks/balances were compromised, it was incapable of prosecuting state actors (e.g. Daniel Pantaleo) or anyone who didn't "fit the profile" of a "criminal" (e.g. Brock Turner).

Yes! Yes!

The system is under strain from too many corrupt actors at the top. It was never without flaw, but the power has to be balanced better.

They're welcome to present their own ideas for how we bring these people to justice. If their answer is "they did nothing wrong", I don't think any of our good people will be listening to their bs about sovereignty.
