Uh, wow, you must REALLY think Bush is an idiot to be saying that to a soldier, while pointing into random space . . .

Now that the Duke case is over, are you going to turn your attention to the Wisconsin state official who got railroaded by the U.S. Attorney's office there just in time to give the GOP talking points for the election?

The first link in that post is not helpful, but here are local news stories on the case:

http://www.madison.com/archives/read...0704070681.php
http://www.madison.com/archives/read...0704100234.php
http://www.madison.com/archives/read...0704100255.php
http://www.madison.com/archives/read...0704050468.php

The last of those is the one to start with.

I've looked into it:
  • Wood, Diane Pamela
    Born 1950 in Plainfield, NJ

    Federal Judicial Service:
    Judge, U. S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
    Nominated by William J. Clinton on March 31, 1995

The jurors that convicted the poor political pawn? I'm sure they were republican plants.

I don't agree with you very often, but someone ought to be jailed for this shit. If not flogged and dipped in gasoline.

I am with you in re disgust at that thing in Wisconsin, but I wonder why you connect these two cases. How are they at all connected or even similar, save the very general connection that they are both cases of a railroading (a characteristic they share with thousands of other investigations/cases started every year)?

You're not insinuating those Duke kids are a cause celebre for Republicans, or happen to represent some sort of uber-Republican spoiled brat constituency.

I didn't think so, because that would be applying stereotypes and generalizing, which I wouldn't want to see on these boards. Not accusin'... just sayin.'

You do know that there are three judges per panel on federal appellate courts?
