In reply to the discussion: Powerful statement from Philadelphia DA on Trump's goon squads... [View all]bucolic_frolic
(48,147 posts)18. This gonna happen. To Trump this is like throwing down the gauntlet.
And think how much inspiration and support DA Krasner's resolve sends to mayors and DA's in other cities.
It's trite but the original 13 states, PA, VA, MA, NJ in particular, have a tradition forged in the Revolution that shaped state Constitutions, legal code, practices, and rights that linger to this day. PA's original Constitution, which has had 5 revisions and many amendments, was ratified in 1776.

So glad Krasner is DA instead of Lynne Abraham. She'd have welcomed the Feds with open arms.
