Pure Lib-on-Conservative Lawfare in a venue that promotes and encourages such Lawfare.
Just wait until Jackwagon Smith gets to shoot at Trump in the same barrel.
My God.
The verdict will not stand on appeal.
DC isn’t even allowed a voting Representative in Congress. There’s a reason for that. They (residents) shouldn’t even be allowed to serve on a federal jury case, or a civil one to my mind. Slugs.
I’m afraid the idiocy among our citizenry is terminal at this point.
Probably so. I just hope Mark is not in a paupers grave to see it.
I think the embarrassing DC court system should be abolished. The Congress can do it.
Disgusting and of course totally predictable.
It grieves me that Steyn is having his finances wrecked. He’s really standing in for all of us and shouldn’t be having to shoulder this alone. He should consider setting up a legal defense fund so we can pitch in.
As I have stated before, the chance that Trump will get a remotely fair trial in the District of Corruption is roughly that of a black man with a criminal record accused of raping a high society white women in Alabama, in 1925.
Except that everyone knows it was true.
D.C. courts should be disbanded. D.C. .gov should be disbanded. It’s a Federal District that has proven itself to be ungovernable.
If you are a conservative, or a Republican; and a white, heterosexual male; DO NOT, under any circumstances, allow yourself to be tried in a DC court.
Our court system now has very little to do with “law” or “justice”.
It’s is now nothing more than a political weapon.
DC Juries are a “Progressives” dream.
DC Jury. They didn’t know what the trail was all about, but, somebody got trashed so give him a million bucks.
I doubt poor Steyn can afford an appeal. He has great courage but he is ruined now.
This just shows that it is impossible for any conservative to ever get a fair trial in Washington DC.
In politicized cases, the justice system in this country is irretrievably broken.
Our First Amendment takes a major hit, and the weaselly attorney class just got more powerful.
I do hope that there is an avenue to appeal.
I also hope, and trust, that our brilliant friend, Mark Steyn, will carry on with strength and aplomb.
And Republican cowards say nothing.
