Agreed. Infuriating that it's that low.

Part of it I blame on the Conservatives "Back The Blue" establishmentarian mentality.

Liberals understand that if the government breaks the law when trying to convict someone, the guilty must walk. It's the only way to punish the state.

Conservatives and Republicans are fucking notorious in the legal sphere for allowing the state to violate the law if they think they got the right guy. They got some real "24" vibes going on in their heads.

They are still holding onto that idea that "order is more important than liberty" even when the hammer of the state is bashing their brains in. Say what you will about Libertarian tolerance for degeneracy; but they'd rather let even the guilty go free if the state were in the wrong; and there is real value in that.
