#1 They'll never get a fair trial in NYC. I recommend moving it to Clark County, Nevada.

#2 "they remained confident the court would 'find people that fit the profile' of impartial peers"
Translation: People sympathetic to 'Occupy' aren't generally the kind that show for jury duty; they're much too busy/ have an excuse/ think it's all an 'oppressor' game.

#3 The impartiality is a matter of requiring the prosecution to prove their point beyond reasonable doubt, not who is being tried. If they can seat jurors for Zimmerman given the coverage, they can seat jurors for the OWS gang.

#4 It does not matter what they think of the protest movement if they believe the rule of law is the guiding light.

#5 ..and the irony being that OWS and its supporters (yes, we're looking at you Mr.Holder and Obama) never respected the rule of law only power.

#6 Nothing personal P2k, but what you and I have actually belongs to them [Champ, Holder, and their people]. We've just not fully accepted the transfer quite yet.

#7 Well, St Patrick's Day just passed so it's probably appropriate that a lot of us are going Irish (see Irish resistance to the Crown).

#8 the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach
