Here are some other actionable options the Heir's thinking about to make sure PASC understands there are consequences for making such an unsound decision that let Cosby out of jail.  He doesn't remember offhand whether he's already made these suggestions, but one of those is about a bar review on the court as to whether those Cosby-goes-home Justices had demanded and received adequate proof from Cosby's petitioners that a prosecutor's agreement was ever made to begin with.  This is about a legal bar's requirement that legal professionals be as truthful as possible in official proceedings, and since the Heir sees the Justices as legal professionals as Cosby's petitioners, it just stands to reason that they, too, are subject to the rules of the bar.  This the Heir was thinking about when he heard about how Giuliani lost his legal license because the bar found that he was untruthful in his official legal statements, so the Heir's wondering, why can't such a procedure apply here?  Another thing the Heir was thinking about is a popular voting referendum preventing a questionable decision process as made by the PASC, again, *if* the PASC never demanded proof of a prosecutor's agreement.  Otherwise, Cosby's team has the ability to untruthfully tell the court that the sky is green, and the court has the privilege of making an arbitrary ruling/decision that the sky is apparently green.  This again gets to the Heir's misgivings about the apparently unlimited power of the judiciary as constitutionally accepted, since as far as the Heir knows, the concept of jurisprudence is not found nor required by the U.S. Constitution.  The Constitution *implies* or *insinuates* jurisprudence, but the Heir doesn't believe that's good enough.  For example, he's wondering where the jurisprudence is in equating an assault rifle with a swiss army knife.  He sees this as going beyond debates about packing courts with progressive/wishing-to-conserve type Justices for the sake of a given political group getting more power than the other, and more about yielding more enlightenment to the populace and to the country at large.  After all, the Heir recognizes the 4th of July as partly being about the country's founding being based on Enlightenment type concepts.

The Heir's already not a Jason Johnson person, but even though the Heir did want to hear what Mr. Johnson had to say about letting Cosby go, even now in 7/21 Mr. Johnson still echoes the assumption that one must separate the artist from the art.  The Heir then came across an Ed Snowden-type Vox article that actually tries to tell people that anyone who doesn't agree with that is somehow a "philistine."  The Heir doesn't quite know what that is, but it's been historically used as an insult to cultural dissenters.  Looks to the Heir as though Mr. Johnson and Vox don't really support survivors in ways that are actually meaningful.  So the Heir found an article on a site that's not as well known as Vox but talks about arts and entertainment that makes the point that when it comes to certain acts, you *can't* and *shouldn't* separate the art from the artist, because the money the artist gets from the art goes toward the atrocities.  The Heir defines as his red line on what acts constitutes non-separation as the artist being credibly accused of a felony, like Cosby was and still is.  The arts site had it more down with Law And Justice and principle than Vox ever did.  This concept of calling a Law And Justice person who believes in the concept of principle a "philistine" reveals the personal corruption of the source using that slur in the first place, and undermines our ability to teach our young people right from wrong.  It's no coincidence to the Heir that shortly after Cosby was released, the Heir was nearly cut off by reckless motorcyclists on his way home from his shift on the Bland Barns Catering Counter, and this certainly *wasn't* among those more conscientious bikers the Heir has come to know from the Harley-Davidson community.  This was a husband and wife team who apparently thought that if Cosby could get out of jail after assaulting 60 women, they're somehow free to drive as recklessly as possible as if they were on a dirt course.  The guy was even doing a wheelie.  That there is proof for the Heir that personal corruption even in 7/21 is alive and well, 8 years after Ed Snowden and 7 years after forced obsolescence.  So don't try to tell the Heir that he's wallowing in the past with Ed Snowden.
