        I wouldn’t go that far. Looking from a distance, the US is starting to look a lot like pre-2022 Russia. The government abuses the letter of the law to go against its spirit, and courts get progressively stacked with pro-govermnent cronies. So, while you can’t expect a fair trial anymore, they are not openly ignoring the written law yet. Thus opens some venues of defense because the thugs on the ground often fuck up the paperwork.
