2. The positive experience of Canada with such a system does not necessarily translate into success elsewhere.

I get that Canada has a system in which trial by jury is only a thing if a person is facing a penalty of more than 5 years in prison, & it mostly works for them but...
1. Magistrates in the UK aren't trained lawyers—they're volunteers. That's not the case in Canada

Pete Hegseth responded to all this with the smirking, adolescent sadism of a schoolyard bully pulling the legs off of a spider. Now juxtapose this with the horror experienced by a source who saw the imagery of the men being blown apart in the water:

This is also good: Rep Adam Smith calls for public release of the DOJ memo supposedly justifying Trump's bombings. And he says he'll push Republicans to start using subpoena power to get testimony from top officials, both military and civilian:

This is a big deal: Jack Goldsmith, former head of OLC, says that if WaPo's report is right, Pete Hegseth's order might have been an illegal one.
WaPo reports that the commander overseeing the strikes gave a rationale but Goldsmith says it doesn't hold up:

Pete Hegseth denies he gave the order to kill them all. But even some Republicans now appear to be demanding answers, so Frank Bradley, who oversaw the bombings, is in discussions with House Armed Services about coming in.

These racist throwback creatures are flying around the world in their luxury private jets, treated like movie stars everywhere, billions of dollars at their disposal, and they’re absolutely drunk with power and unearned wealth.
