Yet, since 1922, the Supreme Court has undermined this clause with an exception that allows state and federal prosecutors to bring separate charges for the same alleged crime. As a result, people can be prosecuted twice for the same offense — so long as the prosecutors are from separate “sovereigns.”
So, precedent actually states just the opposite you said, and Gamble v. US has yet to be decided. It might end up being decided the way you see it, but as of this point that hasn't been precedent. Your own links establishes that.
Yes, that's what I was saying.
It'd make you proud. Good job! Which brings me to my point ... judges and bar association are another. Why?
State laws has expanded into federal, and federal law has expanded into state. They used to not overlap, like back in 1922. But it's now nearly 100 years later, and we have passed laws to the point you cannot commit a crime without it being prosecuted by both state and federal. Heck, Idaho just repealed their entire code because it's become so bad!
The bar association has been debating this for years, and asking prosecutors to 'watch it.' But they've 'pushed the line' once again, forcing things like Gamble v. US.
And dude, we know you don't like progressives. We don't need the dramatics in every post when we are simply discussing a topic, and then 3/4s of your post ends being where you tell us about how progressives have failed you or any of the other dramatic nonsense. It makes your posts long and almost unreadable. Just stick to the actual topic.
Just face it ... if it ensnares Republicans, you want it. It's why
'criminal reform' is low on the Progressive agenda now, even as the Republicans -- let alone Trump -- are pushing for it. You also don't like it because it makes Bill Clinton
'look bad,' just like Hillary Clinton looked bad when #metoo started (and was
'pushed back' ... luckily she lost, so #metoo was able to start).
The problem is ... this is something that
ensnares the rest of the country, everyday people. You want more laws, more bannings, more everything. You're entire attitude is NeoProg, leading to the totalitarian state. It's like being in Germany, watching the Communists argue against the Fascists, when the Communists have killed far more people, and destroyed far more families. I don't support the Fascists, but like in your world, the Communists are far worse.
That's why attitudes like yours scare me to death. You literally want to destroy civil liberties, right when we're on the cusp of restoring them. But it favors Trump ... so forget it ... right?
Why can't we have laws that hold politicians accountable ... without f'ing over anyone who doesn't fit the 'political corrections' of the US Media and Progressives? You piss on civil liberties, and then use civics in the opposite direction they were intended.
