Nerdy dilettante; fond of games, cats, and enthusiasts, in no particular order.

Scadian, neo-hellenist, leftist.

Nonexistent accounts whose posts are merely the product of my troubled mind DNI.
Seems to me that we've already codified the penalty for treason... and if this administration doesn't constitute treason I don't know if treason even means anything anymore.

I think it says more about the women the Dems choose to run, but yeah; I'm sure sexism is also a factor. It usually is.

Well that's the nice thing about trial by jury; if even one juror insists on acquittal, the government has failed to make its case.

If you're interested, the movie "12 Angry Men" will, on top of being a very good movie, show you how this works in practice.

If the jury won't convict, the defendant is acquitted. The judge's job prior to conviction is to facilitate the case being properly presented, and in the event of a conviction, to determine the sentence.
