The United States Senate on Wednesday narrowly confirmed Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins to be the next U.S. attorney for Massachusetts....
Vice President Kamala Harris was needed to break two votes that were tied 50-50 along party lines...Republicans all voted against Rollins' nomination....
“to declining to prosecute low-level offenses, Rachael Rollins has really shown that we can take a different approach to law enforcement," said Carol Rose, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)...
Rollins has also sparred with Boston’s largest police union, which accused her last summer of inciting violence against law enforcement..

Charges for which the Default is to Decline Prosecuting (unless supervisor permission is obtained).
Trespassing
Shoplifting (including offenses that are essentially shoplifting but charged as larceny)
Larceny under $250
Disorderly conduct
Disturbing the peace
Receiving stolen property
Minor driving offenses, including operating with a suspend or revoked license
Breaking and entering — where it is into a vacant property or where it is for the purpose of sleeping or seeking refuge from the cold and there is no actual damage to property
Wanton or malicious destruction of property
Threats – excluding domestic violence
Minor in possession of alcohol
Drug possession
Drug possession with intent to distribute
A stand alone resisting arrest charge, i.e. cases where a person is charged with resisting arrest and that is the only charge
A resisting arrest charge combined with only charges that all fall under the list of charges to decline to prosecute, e.g. resisting arrest charge combined only with a trespassing charge
Instead of prosecuting, these cases should be (1) outright dismissed prior to arraignment or (2) where appropriate, diverted and treated as a civil infraction for which community service is satisfactory, restitution is satisfactory or engagement with appropriate community-based no-cost programming, job training or schooling is satisfactory. In the exceptional circumstances where prosecution of one of these charges is warranted, the line DA must first seek permission from his or her supervisor. If necessary, arraignment will be continued to allow for consultation with supervisor. Thus, there will be an avenue for prosecuting these misdemeanors when necessary but it will be appropriately overseen by experienced prosecutors.
Note: this is essentially already happening for drug possession cases in Roxbury and Dorchester District Court.
Don’t worry. She’ll make it up by framing parents at school board meetings, gun owners or conservative protestors.

Her proposal is a reaction to such crimes sadly being far more typical among those of a certain ethnic culture than another (mainly due to the deleterious effects of liberal ideology and programs upon the families of said ethnicity), meaning that that skin color much determines whether a crime is to be prosecuted, and who receives favored treatment, all in the name of combatting such discrimination- and which wrongfully does occur. *And prosecutors as Rollins can claim credit for a drop in the crime rate, since police become reluctant to deal with many crimes that are not considered to be worthy of prosecution. )
Which discrimination does not help any ethnic culture
in the long term, but it obtains votes for those of the Left, which much foster racism and present themselves as saviors of the victims of oppression by any who are of the politically incorrect race, who are demonized simply but being of that skin color.
Meanwhile, such actions as name-calling are political major crimes by the Left, whose default tactic is to broadly label any and all who disagree with them as driven by some sort of phobia,
And which, besides racism, promote major immorality, from fornication, abortion, sodomy (thereby over 80% of new HIV cases among men), selfishness, lying/libel/slander, indolence, theft, vandalism, rebellion to valid authority, etc., thus indirectly perpetuating more “victims” that they promise justice for in their lust for power.
Which is nothing new, as in essence this is what the devil did in Gn. 3 and Communist leaders did in obtaining power.
Rollins also refuses to prosecute Illegals for any crimes.
Manchin being the good loyal leftist that he is.
I wonder how she’ll feel when it’s her property that’s stolen or destroyed.
zips in the wire...
The good news is that the Americans stood together and voted against her...
OTOH, communists do what communists do...
?? Anyway, it's time for me to get some sleep.
That approach is already being tired in L.A., Chicago, New York, S.F., etc.
She is bad, bad news…
“Republicans all voted against Rollins’ nomination....”
Well, at least that was a pleasant surprise.
Hire some illegals to burn her house down. No one gets prosecuted, everybody has a good time!
I must say, I enjoyed watching the Twilight zone more than I like living in a continuous episode. And I did not like the show that much, it gave me the creeps.
Another good reason to Not visit the Boston area.
Flimsey Grahamnesty finally found one of Senile Joe’s appointments to be too much even for him./s
I looked up keyword anarchotyranny, and found it it is a real word, that describes USA under Biden Admin.
So one of the three branches of the United States government, the Legislative body whose sole responsibility is to enact laws, approves appointment of a Federal Attorney who had decided that a whole body of laws will not be enforced.
As you point out, anarchotyranny is now in full bloom at the Federal Level having already been ceded in Blue cities and states.
And what exactly are the “low level” laws that as a US Attorney she would ignore? None of the ignored listed local laws seem to within her jurisdiction. Was she queried on this?
