Classic right wing solution to a complex problem with infinite holes. The entire policy is written on a napkin and that's all they need to solve everything. Who doesn't want to house a quarter of all the worlds inmates. Let's just pretend there is no such thing as plea bargains and hand over more power to prosecutors. It's not like there's any need for balance of power. Clearly it's more important for team retard to be outraged about something.
Mildly amusing that the OP was orchestrated by corrupt religious fanatics that have done their best to limit rights/freedoms "other" Americans with the least democratic way they could come up with, in the courts. Their first president was Meese commission chairman. Commission that was put to rest because following the 1st Amendment was just too hard.
There is no such thing as a perfect solution to crime and punishment. All solutions have potential flaws and holes, but you should seek the solution which is best for society.
Republicans try to find ways to keep rapists and other violent criminals locked up for longer. Democrats try to find a way to keep letting them out, and give them second, third, fourth, and fifth chances. This is very consistent. It is rare to find a soft-on-crime Republican. At best you have a few law-and-order liberals, but there aren't many anymore.
I don't care who "orchestrated" the lawsuit to get trans women out of girls high school sports. The point being raised is correct -- that it's blatantly unfair to girls, and is ruining girls/women's sports. Unfortunately Team Feelings has been hijacked by the crazies who are always looking for their next victim group to pretend to care about, so the result is a "solution" which actually creates oppression of a group the left previously tried to help. If you want to talk about male privilege, it's hard to find a more blatant case of it than men being able to play women's sports.
