How goddamn stupid trump is...

Yesterday he said "I thought STRIKES were supposed to be "unlimited" when we were picking our jury"
Actually, how ignorant does he think the world is?

Having unlimited STRIKES would mean never sitting a jury.

I don't even like the current strike system. A third party should be choosing the jury. Giving less jury interference by either side.

He wants to rig everything in his favor.

@DeWayfarer Or we could simply have the mothers of jurors fight in boxing rings to the death to decide.

@Vin53 a panel of judges, other than the presiding judge chosen by lottery would be better. 😊
Vin53 · M
@DeWayfarer That panel of judges is called SCOTUS.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Vin53 this is not a constitutional issue. 🤷🏻‍♂️

State local judges could used. As well as getting this out of the media totally.
Vin53 · M
@DeWayfarer If you considered the use of the word lottery in your post, you'd reconsider and realize how inhumane and injustice what you propose is.

What you're proposing is creating panels until you get the desired outcome.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Vin53 your not getting it. The judges wouldn't be the jury. They would choose the jury.

The lottery is to prevent partisan politics. Since judges are not elected on political party it's a total unknown as to which party has won the lottery.

@DeWayfarer Can I tell you something and be perfectly honest with you? The moment I read the wrong usage of the word "you're" I immediately give up any semblance of intellect of that poster. To that, I bid you adieu.

@Vin53 and that is the difference between spirit of the law and letter of the law!
Vin53 · M
@DeWayfarer and that is the difference between critical thinking and chronic ignorance.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Vin53 no! Because the Constitution itself contradicts. Why a supreme court is even needed. They INTERPRET the constitution.
Vin53 · M
@DeWayfarer If the SCOTUS isn't needed then why is a panel of judges needed? There's a reason why we have 9, 12, jurors. Think about it please.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Vin53 I didn't say that SCOTUS isn't needed. You're INTERPRETING my own words!
Vin53 · M
@DeWayfarer Do you believe in justice? If you were indicted for a crime how many panels would you want deciding your fate even before you're tried?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Vin53 I believe justice is random. Currently based on politics. Get rid of the politics you are getting closer to justice. Yet never perfect!

There's no such thing as perfection. Hence the letter of the law is imperfect anyway.

@DeWayfarer Eureka! Someone who's more drunk than I!
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Vin53 I see from s different perspective is all. Your perspective isn't the same as anyone else's perspective anyway. The best that can be had is a compromise by ALL involved.

Hence once again there's no such thing as perfection and by proxy the letter of the law is imperfect.
Vin53 · M
@DeWayfarer No. You are wrong to inject more 'deciders' into a criminal case. You have to see that.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Vin53 I add a random factor. Which is not political based. Why you hate that opinion!
Vin53 · M
What would be the point of having a courtroom prosecutor
Vin53 · M
@DeWayfarer You aren't critically thinking. try it.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Vin53 everything is random. Time to face the facts!

Life is change! That's is critical observation!
Vin53 · M
@DeWayfarer Well that certainly sums it up.
Vin53 · M
@DeWayfarer gnite
Vin53 · M
@DeWayfarer And if you want to disguise your critical think ignorance, learn to master how to discern the usage of your.
