    and remains in line with fundamental values of liberal justice systems?

    Start by actually enforcing laws against the powerful, with penniless and impotent lifetimes spent in prison

    powerful interests hijacking the justice system?

    The fact that those laws aren’t enforced against the powerful is exactly the “liberal” justice system - the best justice one can buy, and if you can’t afford it, you get none. That’s exactly the problem. It is hijacked now, by design. And why there does need to be a threat specifically against the powerful.

    If all of these criminals thought they were facing the death penalty the crimes and corruption would just get worse

    This is just a Louis CK bit of ‘at least you get the kid back’.

    And no, I’m not calling for the death penalty in general for CSA.

      I don’t think you understood what I meant when I referred to liberal justice systems, because you can’t conceive of any understanding of the word liberal unless it’s in a portmanteau with the word retard.

      The many demonstrable downsides of the death penalty (and lack of any evidenced differential benefits) goes well beyond Louis CK. Congratulations, you just discovered that comedians rehash ancient and serious political and philosophical discussions for laypersons. But you may wish to read the original material.

        Yeah, like I said, I grew up with this subject, so you can save the condescending bullshit. It’s pathetic. Apparently you can’t conceive that others can actually disagree with someone as amazing as you, and you alone, find your intellect to be.
