Just like those southern juries back in the 1950's.

In your dreams maybe. After almost a decade of hostile media, accusations , and sideshow drama. You really think anyone can find an impartial jury? You get a certain number of randomly selected people to chose from, it’s Hobson’s Choice. Haven’t you noticed the state of politics in this country or this thread for that matter, look at the comments nobody in this jury pool gives a flying flip about being impartial. Lawyers knew that, which is why they requested a change of venue but of course that was denied.

By the way another thing that can influence a jury is the desire to get the hell out of there and get back to work.

They could have had that easier by misbehaving and giving the unwanted answers during the selection process.

I’ve seen people come right out and give some wild answers to keep from being selected.

The last jury I was on I was told to by those who already made a decision to hurry up so they could go pick up their kids at school.

Most of the rules and such deal with members of congress. It would be a safe assumption, but still an assumption, that the rules would not be more restrictive for an elected president.



We live in interesting times.

Good summary. It makes Nov 7 even more interesting. I am betting the Dems pull Biden if the polls don't reflect him leading.

Who are they going to pick instead ?

From what I understand the Dems really don't have any classified candidate except Biden.

When the going gets tough, pout and throw a tantrum. :Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

Whom would you like as president, Devil #1 or Devil #2? :haha:

Voting? Tantamount to wishing them god speed. 2 John 1:11 applies.

Out of 336,518,508 people, these two are the best that the US can scrape up to man the Oval office?

But don't worry. Long before November, 95% of us will be dead. The remaining 5% will envy the dead.

I need some of that stuff he's smoking!

Don't look at the flash. It's hard to forage in the rubble when you're blind.

But look on the bright side. Maybe we'll have an Avian Influenza pandemic before the nukes fly, and we can ride the virus on out of here before WWIII gets emphatically rolling.

Even Elmo thought he was a bad### when they wired him up to Old Sparky.

Warning: Graphic footage of Elmo's botched execution. :o

Sorry. But I have a problem listening to anyone that pronounces Arkansas
as Rcansaw.
Do you also say Cansaw for Kansas?
:hmmm:
