BTW about GJs. I never got called up so far. If you are, please do it, and do it honorably. In the US, the point is so we the people are the final check and balance against abusing the justice system. Against cases brought without probable cause. Against “the process is the punishment” and dragging plainly innocent ppl through the muck.

Absolutely indict if warranted. But don’t indict the ham sandwich. GJ’s have recently been refusing to indict high profile bogus cases. That is a critical backstop.

It is very irritating that ppl just accepted that. It wasn’t forced on us by law. We just… bought the stuff. It was so shiny! Now we have a mass surveilance apparatus that would make the Stasi blush.

Lots of us saw the terrible potential. But way more of us didn’t.
