And why isn’t Silky Pony as derogatory/offensive as faggot?

THAT is the $63,000 question.

The political fun of it. The problematic nature of it for Bush, etc. She’s grinning about the fun of political implications of this. She says she doesn’t want him to go to jail. She seems to have convicted simply to……

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention….

And why isn’t Silky Pony as derogatory/offensive as faggot?

Where are the Republican cajones? Where

They have none! Case in point the latest Ann Coulter bomb

If she just had the ability NOT to say everything that comes to her demented little mind, if you know what I mean, she could be pretty funny. I used to live on the Upper West Side, and that’s hilarious.

The jury spokeman was a writer for the W.P. ! !

Yes he is the neighbor of Tim “Meet the Depressed” Potato head Russert

Thank you, Maxx. I’m quite aware of jury nullification, which is highly problematic in a free society governed by the rule of law.

None other than one Scooter Libby. So on the plus side, Scoots knows the drill for petitioning for a pardon.

What are the odds….

Neal Boortz has talked about the inherent bias in jury selection on his show a bit. How smart, productive people find ways to avoid jury duty so it tends toward less ambitious and lower intelligent types. I started seriously thinking about it during OJ, when it was obvious you had a jury that lacked the intelligence to understand the evidence, and I really believe we need to look into professional jurors. Because lets face it, the selection pool looked alot different when the jury of your peers thing was first started, the drooling dimwit cleaning the stables wasn’t a candidate back then.

On the off chance Neal is full of crap, I looked up the jury makeup:

Of the folks in the jury pool (both in the jury and alternates), we have a web architect, an investment banker, a travel agent, a retired math teacher, a consumer protection attorney, someone from HHS, an art curator, the fellow whose former editor was Bob Woodward, someone who works in hotel sales, one person who has formerly served as a jury foreperson in a prior criminal case, someone who does data entry, a retired postal worker, a day care provider, and a juror who formerly worked for the military, then a nonprofit and is now retired.

I could perhaps see her saying something like that if she believed him INNOCENT in the first place and actually didn’t want to convict him — but perhaps was pressured on the jury to do so.

But… for FUN????? OMG.

It’s a fact that good guys don’t always win and for many prosecutors, especially ones like Patrick Fitzgerald, justice is little more than a game:PATRICK FITZGERALD IS A PROSECUTOR. He came to the Valerie Plame affair with his typical agenda – get so…

Why is this so hard…for everyone…not just Fitz.

Egad, how was this jury chosen?

Jury of his peers, Bryan. Jury of his peers.

Remember, 50% of the population are below average intelligence. Stands to reason every jury will have a few like her.

Ann Reddington thinks a pardon would be “fun” because she “doesn’t want” Scooter Libby, the guy she convicted, to go to jail. (Hot Air)……

This is called Jury Nullification.

Wow! That’s some great info to have. It immediately made me feel that there was hope for our system that seems to be out of control. But then I realized that the moonbat lefties would probably be the majority on juries.

YIKES!

To distill it, what I have seen, thus far, is rank injustice with the triumph of controlling, vindictive, lying bureaucrats over the rule of law. Because of that, Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame are being handsomely rewarded for being utter frauds and Mr. Libby is being destroyed for, perhaps, having a faulty memory, if that.

Is it now acceptable practice to consider it a crime to be a Republican? I’m beginning to think so, now that policy matters and stances thereon seem to be vulnerable to criminalizing, however tortured the process.

He lied in front of a stupid jury

He got convicted

Even in aninvestigation that leads nowhere – you do not have the right to lie

Liby was an highly experienced atorney
