How many pounds of marijuana does one have to transport into the US -- twice -- for that to be a felony?

Irrelevant to the case we're discussing, sorry.

The judge probably told the jury they may only consider "the facts of the case" and that they cannot let their conscience,opinion of the law,or the motives of the defendants affect their decision... (check your brain at the door please...)

Can't help but notice how quick you are to tell this other person how his comments are "uncalled for", but I guess it's OK that I "shouldn't be allowed to vote".

Try here and here for starters.

My "stand" is -illegal immigration is bad, legal immigration is good.

Just curious -- why the focus on the (relatively minor) obstruction charge, rather than the count that earned these guys the 10 year mandatory federal time?

Always snarky when wrong...thanks for being consistent.
Still waiting for you to back up your "kept out of court" quip.

Jorge Bush was saving his 'compassionate conservatism' for the compassionate ,crimalien drug smugglers. That smuggler was probably bringing the pot for free distribution to poor people dying of cancer.

geez, where's your compassion,man?

OK, Emmett...you may vote.
However, since you want to impeach Bush for not pardoning felons before the appeal process, I reserve the right to not take you seriously.

No, it isn't irrelevant. Not when the testimony that convicted the 2 BP agents was from someone who, without the immunity, could have been charged with felonies, himself.

It shows that the Bush Administration was more interested in imprisoning 2 Border Agents for doing their job than an imprisoning a drug dealer who transports hundreds of pounds of drugs into the country.

The significant difference is that the 2 Agents are no longer on the border trying to protect the US from the invaders. Whereas the drug dealer is still on the streets and has probably transported a few more tons of illicit drugs into the US.

Why even bother?

You're a broken record.

Actually, it is.

How many pounds of marijuana does one have to transport into the US -- twice -- for that to be a felony?

That is not relevant to the felony convictions.

You can't back up your claim. Keep carping.

Like I said, you wouldn't give anything offered any credence anyway, you wouldn't trust me as a source., yaknow. Much less WND or newsmax or whoever.

Go search the trial threads for yourself, the "juror comments" are out there, not that you care, this is personal for you for some reason. it seems it's the only reason folks like you hang out here.
