        Obviously not. As we’ve already ascertained from OP, one murder of a rich is worth more than 23 murders of non-white commoners. A mere 2 non-citizen commoners isn’t going to make them blink an eye.

        And just think of the media circus if the world didn’t like and support Luigi the more they hear about him, they tried a blitz at first and it just helped Luigis popularity… so this is the silent mode.

      They should. But when the Supreme Court is corrupt, this is what happens.

          But the Supreme Courts dictate lower courts

            Yes I know, but (1) most lower court actions and decisions are never reviewed by SCOTUS and (2) it’s not like the lower courts were doing great and every once in a while SCOTUS overturned them. This has long, long been a been a very consistent and pervasive problem in the federal courts. It’s not as simple as “SCOTUS pulls the strings of the lower courts,” quite far from it.

              I didn’t say they pull the strings. I said they dictate it. They set precedence. Which is huge in the interpretation of law.

                Yes I know, I’m a lawyer lol. I’m just saying that, in effect, lower courts split frequently, and even when they ostensibly don’t split they interpret SCOTUS decisions in sometimes very different ways.
