  1. So how much money did Delaware taxpayers spend defending a law procedurally in multiple courtrooms that they then said “yeah, 3 years later we agree it’s a bad law”.

  2. The jobs of law enforcement officers, judge, jury and executioner should be combined, and only the winning party should pick them. The role of voters should be limited to picking the winning party. Only votes for parties which have a precinct chair living in that precinct should count. The vast majority of those who are allowed to vote now should not be allowed to vote at all.
