hey @Okiebob https://www.foxnews.com/politics/oklahoma-governor-supreme-court-mcgirt-criminals-released I remember asking what your thoughts were on this back when the decision came down. I don't remember exactly what we discussed but I remember me saying that there was going to be a lot of unintended/unrealized consequences. Eeegads.
First I'm hearing of it. The news here, drenched in ultra conservatism, have yet to report it. If memory serves me correct one of those goofball appeals felon represented himself and got time tacked onto his sentence for multiple counts of contempt, but I see Jethro Stitt made no mention of that. But I'll look into it. Then again this place is a gun nuts wet dream with constitutional carry and they've always had this wild west fantasy, sounds like more self fulfillment to me. Plus we've just went through a justice and prison reform legislation that even after going to the ballot and winning by an overwhelming majority, the private prison owned politicians pissed, moaned and tried to rally against it. Oklahoma had some of the most harsh sentencing for years and needed reformed. This sounds like another example with Stitt showing who really pulls his strings. He will not be re-elected, most everyone here democrat or republican, Qanon and ANTIFA all agree on one thing... Stitt is a moron.
I get that, but I am not talking about Stitt. I am talking about dozens, if not hundreds of criminals walking free since the SCOTUS ruled that half of the state is Indian territory and that is being interpreted as that not only are pending litigations but prior litigations were illegally prosecuted; not to mention civil litigation including mining rights and taxes. Again I could care less about your Governor. I was just asking if people are talking about it, but I have my answer. What a mess.
Mining rights and taxes have only been classified as potential threats. Follow close here Ron. Potential threats are not real circumstances. Like I could potentially have a nuclear warhead but the real circumstances is I have a Estelle model rocket. I could explain this in better detail but hey Fox says this is the way it is so it must be just exactly that. Kevin Stitt is misrepresenting numbers by bringing up the one or two cases that actually benefitted from the ruling. If the taxes claim was real, any lawyer in Oklahoma would jump at the opportunity to argue it and chase to the SC. Jethro even eludes to that fact toward the end of the article, just not in the beginning bc that's were they insert the bullchit.
