Rep. Don Young on Stevens' conviction
So Alaska Rep. Don Young has decided to speak out against the injustice of Ted Stevens' conviction.
Apparently the residents of the District of Columbia are incapable of providing a member of Congress with a jury of peers, because:
"You have to understand that this was not a jury of his peers. It was in Washington, D.C. , which most people in Washington, D.C., don't look very favorably on the Congress because we run them. I don't know why anybody didn't bring that out. They're not a self-governing city like they say they are. We actually make decisions for them. Makes us very, very suspicious."
Uh, thanks buddy. I'll be sure to call your constituent services people about that appalling pothole at the intersection of Sherman and Kenyon that nearly ate the cyclist in front of me this morning.Since you "run us" and everything.
So why didn't Stevens just request a bench trial if the half-million residents of this city are universally incapable of thinking rationally when it comes to Congress?
Re: Rep. Don Young on Stevens' conviction
From a D.C. area judge?! You think that would be fair and impartial? Why, I'm sure there's not a single judge on the bench who could see past this apparent hatred of Congress and, say, apply the law impartially! It's a set up!
What a lame excuse. There are certainly grounds for appeal of the conviction, but I doubt jury bias is among them.
LMAO!!!
It's like DC finally has a senator vote!
What a nut job. He's just preparing for his own trial, which is probably inevitable.
