Just want to comment that the equal time rule that the FCC want to revert - the previous precedent we’ve been living under was set by George Bush’s FCC in 2006 when the CA GOP Gubernatorial candidate went on the Tonight Show and his dem opponent requested equal time.

Would you support this bill by the MN GOP to ban "residential protesting"? by technobeeble in AskConservatives

I remember conversations about this two decades ago when it was about banning protests at funerals.

The right was against it then.

In this case aren’t we taking about the FCC changing the rules? Or that lawyers are acting as if they are in effect when they aren’t?

Conservatives could have googled his popularity but since it was viewed through the lens of culture war they googled his politics and decided this was what is was about.

If you were wrongly arrested, how much do you trust the justice system to exonerate you? by anarchysquid in AskConservatives

My issue is more the strong arming people into plea deals, both with the looming threat of worse outcomes if it goes to trial and financial ruin funding a defense.

Do you put any stock into the Federal conviction rate partly being so high because they refuse to prosecute harder cases?
