Persons of sense may expect this absurdity to be obvious.

"Repeating the same behavior but expecting a different result is the definition of insanity." falsely attributed to Einstein

If you say so former majority leader McConnell. BUT !
Sadly, apparently, for Republicans, there's no education. None on the first kick, & none on the second.

The Republican electorate nationwide could disprove that statement with a titanic blue wave in next month's mid-term elections,
providing determinative support for a power shift against the political party that has lied, and cheated, and perjured.

But even if that, superficial unless the resultant Democrat majority is strong enough, powerful enough to undo the destruction
inflicted in the past few years.

Recent polling data suggests that's unlikely.
 
Maybe we should consider rehiring the FDA inspectors that Trump fired?

Cornell had 2 years to take this seriously.

Now thousands of students, faculty, and community members are protesting. Faculty members have introduced a no confidence resolution. The New York Attorney General has taken over the criminal investigation. Cornell has hired former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates to review how the university handled Jane Doe’s case.

And today, students are holding a 7 hour sit in and campuswide economic blackout. 7 hours. Because that is how long organizers say Jane Doe endured what happened at Chi Phi.

Jane Doe reported the alleged assault to Cornell police in November 2024. She sat with them for hours and told them she could say with 100% confidence that she had been raped. According to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, that statement was missing from the account Cornell police sent to prosecutors.

The district attorney then closed the case without interviewing Jane Doe or anyone else allegedly involved in the assault. No criminal charges were filed.

Cornell did conduct its own Title IX investigation. The Chi Phi chapter was eventually shut down. Cornell says some students were expelled, others suspended, and some were told to write a report as punishment. Some of the accused students have maintained that the sexual activity was consensual, and attorneys for 2 former students have denied that their clients participated in sexual assault.

Then Jane Doe’s lawsuit made the details public, and people started asking some pretty obvious questions about how the hell this was handled in the first place. Now the criminal investigation has been reopened and taken away from the local DA. Attorney General Letitia James is overseeing it. And Cornell is commissioning an independent review. Sally Yates and her team will examine Cornell’s sexual misconduct investigations, disciplinary process, campus police response, coordination with outside law enforcement, and oversight of fraternities and other student organizations.

Because Jane Doe didn’t wait 2 years to say something. She reported it in 2024. She went to Cornell police. She sat there for hours. She told them she had been raped.

The question was never why she didn’t speak up. She did.

The question is what everyone with the power to do something about it did after she spoke.

Saw that - no idea how they expect to obey the law on that one.

No person under the age of 18 shall witness a United States military execution, according to the U.S. Army Regulations on Procedures for Military Executions (AR 190-55)

Public executions in the US were once a community spectacle and then they stopped

For about 9 decades, executions in the U.S. have been private affairs. The Pentagon's announcement that the first military execution in more than 65 years will be livestreamed could change that.

You seem to have in mind a specific legal prohibition. None comes to my mind, other than the obvious standards of good taste
which obviously don't apply to the Trump administration.

Government can do all sorts of things the rest of us can't.
Police cars can exceed posted speed limits, run red lights, etc.
Government can incarcerate. We can't.
Government can tax. Don't even think about it.

It would be nice to live in a world where there were no bad guys worthy of 25 to life sentences, or worse. BUT ! ...

I totally disagree.
Police cars should never conduct high speed chases legally.
But clearly the fact ambulances also exceed posted speed limits, proves anyone can if necessary and with appropriate lighting.
It is not a function of government.

We can and do incarcerate privately.
The Walmart security guard apprehends, and remote locations, will also incarcerate for periods of time.
Essentially all land lords are just taxing residents.

It is not about a "specific legal prohibition".
It is about the source of legal authority.
Which is the defense of inherent individual rights.
In a republic, government only borrows the authority we delegate to it.
We are the source of all legal authority, from what is needed in order to defend our inherent rights.
So then if we can not do it, we can't delegate it to government, so then government can not do it even more so.

The fact individuals do not do things, like incarceration, is not because they legally can't, but because it protects the rights of all better if we refrain and let government do it in a more regulated fashion.
But if someone commits a murder in some remote place, and there is no other safe means, then the people there could privately give a trial and execution if necessary.
But as long as it is not a remote place and has prisons available, there is no source of authority for republic governments to execute.
