Yes, [Douglas] Mackey’s [who created a meme in 2016] conviction was tossed out by an appeals court months ago… and overwhelmingly, by the way. But the story didn’t end there. In the days that followed, prosecutors had the chance to fight back, to appeal, and to try to reinstate the conviction. They didn’t. They knew they were beaten. They knew the case was flimsy and political and could never survive real scrutiny.
Even so, the official entry of Mackey’s full acquittal dragged on for nearly three weeks. Twenty days of silence before the court finally entered the judgment and actually issued an apology for the delay. That apology says everything about how weak and embarrassing this case was. More
Now he should sue.
The prosecutors need to be punished. Tossed in jail would be good, but absent that how about one year loss of law license, one year job suspension without pay, $100,000 fine, and mandatory First Amendment Sensitivity Training.
But what about Mudflap’s meme?
Sh*t like this is why we should have a looser pays legal system. That would stop a lot of this crap from happening in the first place.

You think the judiciary, that’s paid to pick the losers, isn’t selected, specifically, for corruption?
That’s so sweet.
