    At what point can we stop blaming the scorpion and start blaming the frog. The scorpion has more self wariness and perspective than trump, literally. But trump is exactly what he’s been for 40 years, America has changed and his supporters are a pure reflection of his personality

    Yuu signing up for the campaign to repeal the “double jeopardy loophole”?

    Please campaign on that.

    I'll take that as a no. The concept that one can be tried separately under state and federal law for the same principal act without violating double jeopardy is long settled law. New York is unique in its statutory prohibition against it.

    Without dual sovereignty, the feds never would have been able to bring civil rights charges in the South after white Southerners had already been acquitted by all white state juries.

    I'm perfectly comfortable defending it.

    I think it has something to do with jurice prudence. I'm a little rusty on legal terms, but YF can catch you up on that.
