The Republican thought leaders like Carlson are talented for inventing the most bizarre delusion and running it straight to the heart of MAGA and Tucker’s bank account. It’s hard to believe that Democrats could nominate a candidate who could lose to RonJon but they have. The issue should t be how much an inmate pays in bail but whether they should remain in jail to protect the public safety. It’s the part about public safety that Barnes appears not to understand or care about. The Dems are really taking the pooch to the prom w Barnes.
"The issue should t be how much an inmate pays in bail but whether they should remain in jail to protect the public safety."
But those are two separate questions. Someone murders a dozen people and they will be held without bail. Someone who 'merely' assaults or rapes someone will get a cash bail amount just like someone who is arrested for drug use. The amount will differ of course, but then again, so will the defendant's resources. We're currently letting out violent people with means and locking up (at great cost) non-violent people without means. Not only is that unequal justice, it is also making us less safe than we could be with a better system.
I do. I oppose Barnes. The factor, and only factor, determining retrial incarceration is danger to public safety. My opinion is judges are letting out people who are extremely dangerous. Judges must be able to assess dangerousness and to continue incarceration.

Evidence that Barnes doesn't care or understand public safety?
Do you know what the no cash bail policy actually is?

And this is happening under the current bail system.
It seems to work federally. Is Wisconsin just not up to the task?
Pretrial incarceration. Damn iPhone.
