How much do you have to hate America to repudiate trial by jury? The answer is measued in McConnell units -- I scientific scale that runs from zero McConnells (love her the way Kortney loves her veggiesl) to one McConnell (utter contempt).

It seems like trial without jury has come up before in American history. WAIT, it's in the list of Britain's offenses against us in the Declaration of Independence: <i>"For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury"</i> Like I said, 1.0 McConnells.

Federal law would have been brutal ... a federal judge could find her guilty of lying to the cops, and sentence her to life because it was a murder she lied about. This, AFTER a jury verdict of not guilty.

I seem to remember one case in Texas where the defense attorney slept through part of the trial, but no grounds were found for appeal.

Fixed that for ya.

Stupidly evil ... the worst kind, because it's everywhere, and impossible to get rid of. It's the kudzu of evil.

"Not sure of how people are selected to be on a jury in Florida"

Being able to fog a mirror seems to be about the extent of it... and they probably give you three tries.

Turtle Man’s logic is as flawed as: Newt’s moral compass. Palin’s work ethic. Boehner’s natural skin color. Bachmann’s sanity. Murdoch’s integrity.

It just goes on and on....
