During a television broadcast on Thursday, former federal special counsel Jack Smith expressed deep concern regarding the current state of American jurisprudence. Appearing on the MS NOW program hosted by Nicolle Wallace, the former prosecutor described the current political landscape as an extraordinary threat to the nation’s legal foundations. He characterized the ongoing institutional shift as a unique challenge, calling it an assault “different in kind and scope to anything I’ve seen in my lifetime.” This marked his initial public media appearance since stepping down from his federal post in January 2025.

    There’s no reason to downvote you, you’re correct. The only issue I have with this reasoning is that it doesn’t take into account that those accepting the flooding aggressively reject outside information no matter how it’s offered.

    We can all be wrong because we want something to be true for whatever the reason, that’s understandable. The rejection of truth otoh is problematic, especially when that rejection rejoices in harm to others.
