The alternative would be for prosecutors to focus their attention proportionally to `severity of crime * prior probability of guilt`. In an ideal world, you'd see Democratic prosecutors going after Democrats and Republicans going after Republicans just as often as the opposite. But I have no clue how to get from our current world to that world.

In an ideal world you wouldn't have a partisan justice system, just that aspect of the USA's justice system is already pretty bizarre.
