Jury Rejection Process...
We, the Libby Jury
Q: Do you have feelings or opinions about the Bush Administration or any of its policies or actions, whether positive or negative, that might affect your ability to give a former member of the Bush Administration a fair trial?
A: You mean, feelings like, it really pisses me off that they broke the law by wiretapping without FISA warrants, and then attacked the reporters who told us about it, and said Democrats were wussy traitors for opposing it, and now Gonzales is flip-flopping because Senate Democrats finally have subpoena power - you mean feelings like that?
Q: Your honor?
Judge: The juror is excused.
Q: Would the fact that former or present members of the Bush Administration will be witnesses in the case impair your ability to be a totally fair and impartial juror?
A: Well, when I found out this week that the Justice Department is firing federal prosecutors who're going after corrupt Republicans in Congress, and that they're putting in new prosecutors, like Karl Rove's oppo research attack dog, who don't have to be confirmed, thanks to a secret loophole in the Patriot Act, I didn't think that was totally fair and impartial.
J: The juror is excused. <more>
Picking Scooter's Peers
Jury selection in the Scooter Libby trial was supposed to end today, Thursday, but the process is taking forever. Today jurors were being tossed out like bad fruit. Nine of the first 10 to come forward were thrown out. By the end of the day, the failure rate was more than 60 percent. One castaway was a felon. One woman said she would distrust any politician. And several said they just didn't like the Bush administration at all. "I just can't trust anything anyone from the Bush administration says," said one.
The judge asked another: "Do you have any idea about Mr. Libby's guilt or innocence?" "Guilty," said the prospective juror, as if she were already the foreman and the trial was over.
"You can see the clerk down the hall," said the judge. <more>

THAT JUROR SOUNDS LIKE ME!
Looks Like the gerbil Admin has few friends left in America!
Bwahahahahaha!
This questioning picks up again Monday. (The judge had previous commitments for tomorrow.) Opening arguments are now scheduled for Tuesday, but let's not get our hopes up. Ted Wells, who is doing most of the questioning for Libby, is methodical and patient. Though he has to go through the same litany of questions, he does it thoroughly with each juror. His counterpart, Patrick Fitzgerald, who has less to worry about, often just asks a few questions and stops. Wells continues to press. He's like a politician who never gets bored of giving the same stump speech, a tenacity that eventually caused his straight-laced opponent Fitzgerald to offer a little quip. After a brief recess, Wells and the defense team hadn't returned. Fitzgerald looked at the judge and then the empty defense table: "This may go faster, Judge."
ONE JUST WISHES YOU MR. FITZGERALD WERE A REAL PROSECUTER AND WERE NOT AFFRAID OF THESE CRIMINALS.
EVERYONE KNOWS YOU ARE ON THE TAKE AND ARE SCARED TO PROSECUTE THE CRIMINALS OF THIS ADMINISTRATION. WHATS THE MATTER? AFFRAID OF DADDY BUSH?? HE IS THE ASSHOLE WHO MURDERED KENNEDY AND YOU SHOULD GO AFTER HIM FIRST. THEN THE ROCKEFELLERS AND THE BANKSTER MOB. IF YOU WERE A REAL PROSECUTER, YOU WOULD COME OUT OF YOUR CLOUD OF DENIAL AND DO YOUR JOB FOR REALS.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T GET UP IN THE MORNING. YOU AIN'T DOING SHIT FOR THE PEOPLE AND YOU ARE JUST WASTING YOUR TIME WITH THE FAKE PROSECUTER ACT.
TO THINK, WE ACTUALLY HAD HOPE AND THOUGHT YOU WERE WORTH THE RESPECT WE GAVE. WHAT A WASTE. YOU SIR ARE JUST AS BIG A CRIMINAL PIECE OF SHIT AS CHENY AND BUSH ARE.
HURRY UP AND SHIT THEN GET OFF INTO THE POT OF HISTORY WOULD YOU PLEASE AND STOP PRETENDING TO BE A STAND UP GUY BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT !!!
Hey Anon 8:50,
You gotta get off your soap box cause these Globalist evildoers had the power to make sure that Fitz was no where near NY when they blew the Towers on 9/11 and they planned that to almost the last detail but as you see that the fabric is unraveling...
Their money along with the Saudis are running the show...
There's more involved here than a simple case of lying...
This Syndicate can have you killed on a dime!
I suggest you take some meds and relax!
Guilty, Guilty as sin.
Anon at 8:50 is off his meds!

How much courage does it take to make that post while you Hide in the Bushes??
(Probably all that you have...)

Ditto.

Look does anyone really know who Libby is. All of the information is only about his being Cheney's boy and some information about the famous client who Clinton pardoned. So who is Libby anyway? He might say that he is this card carrying NAACP member. Oh a former member of the Black Panthers. Look at this point Libby would do what McCain does play up to anybody who will believe his lie.
I read about one lady who said she forget things. Good point we all do but the question is if she were under oath would she admit she just can't remember or lie.
Gee, I wonder where GEF have been. I heard that he is in rehab with Lindsey Lohen. He still hasn't finished the 12 step program.
The defense team is going about it the wrong way. Wells should be focusing on his client's defense and not what the jurors think of the character of Cheney, Rice, and Bush.
"All of our members have just received summons to appear for jury duty in this case because Judge Walton knows we love that white black man Scooter X!"
LOL!
It's Nation Time! Fight the Power! Free Scooter X!
SPB...what are you doing on this old thread...
Q:
