If the Left would fight for ending asset forfeiture, they would have more success with reform.
End all police abuse, not just police abuse against blacks, but also police abuse against all other citizens, and not just violence, but all police abuse.

Left? Scotus decided Timbs v Indiana unanimously but needs to go even further [ACLU].

Indeed...not far enough by a very long shot.
Amazing that something regarding which so many people agree, on both sides, but it can't get through Congress. That is the swamp we are talking about...Congressman not doing the will of the people. The Swamp really is impossible to drain, unfortunately.
isn't there a bill before Congress about ending Asset Forfeiture across the nation?
I'm pretty sure it was brought by Democrats and not Republicans. So, what is it you're trying to say?
Got a link?
And, who cares who brought it. If it exists, it should pass. And by "should" I mean it is the right thing to do, not that it is likely. This is (or, again, should be) a non-partisan issue. I will give credit if due, but I fully expect it will disappear in committee though...if it even exists.
Well the person who cares is you, seeing you pointed out the "Left" should fight for ending it.
I don't have a link, but there was some movement on it. Not sure where or how long ago. I assume it was before Pandemic. I know J. Sessions was a loud advocate of
Civil Asset Forfeiture as it was discussed back in Trump's first year. But it had bipartisan support to defund it then and rearrange its use nationally.
You said it was a Democrat, but it was Rand Paul, which makes sense.
Doesn't matter who introduced it. We should all care about this.

After Sessions was vocal about keeping it why would it be an R.
But then, good on him. It's definitely of bipartisan concern.
Surprised someone would downvote this. Would love to hear what was wrong with what I said.

Back from vacation: Rusmore, BlackHills, Devils Tower, Badlands - loved it. As to the
person from the Left who downvoted you....these people are not thinking for themselves, and haven't been for some time. Everything is about assuaging their hatred for Trump and gaining political advantage for imaginary gain that they will never actually experience.
They are reflex in their actions, indicating a programming. They are like the audience of a good hypnotist (the MSM) who has them in a suggestible state. If they were told that they would support the things they do now even 2 years ago, they would have scoffed.
They will literally support or rationalize any behavior at this point, and this all became possible after the severe psychologic damage that they took in the 2016 election loss from which they have still been unable to accept or recover.
We thought about that trip. We did Colorado instead. Maybe next time we will go more north.
Welcome back. The board needs you. :-)
Colorado is Wyoming's Mexico.
Bumper sticker I saw, unsure if it's offensive or not, but it exemplifies the Wyoming mindset.
I thought this was pretty funny...

At least we still have Hoover, until they blow up the dam.

And the mainstream Left is cynically trying to use them to enhance their political power.
It is a dangerous game they play. It is a disgustingly cynical game.
Exactly and history has shown the useful idiots will be steamrolled by the Marxists,it is too late
