Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's not what Bill Buckley said. He said he'd "rather be governed by the first 100 people in the Boston phone book than the Harvard faculty."
Obviously he wants to be TRIED by smart people. And so do I.
But please, do continue to be thrilled with your OJ/Casey/Obama voter juries.
I stand corrected on my comment.
I believe he was referring to elected officials, you are correct.
I will go on record I don’t want ‘professional” jurists.Who decides who gets to be on a jury? Will it be a jury of my peers? Would they have a vested interest to obtain a number of convictions/case or lose their jobs?
Thanks, but I have enough “professionals” interferring with my life.
This was hardly a jury similar to the OJ jury...and besides, we don’t know if WE were on that jury ( and we are very smart) that having seen everything, maybe we would have voted the same way.
