Hmmmmm. . . Talk about something that could bite liberals in the backside. The grand jury system is way older than the U.S., correct? Good luck getting that changed. Partly because, think of what it would do to all the left-wing railroad jobs that happen through grand juries. Why, it would put all the DAs and ADAs in Austin, Tx., in jail if they were accountable for distorting their presentation to the GJ!

The anti-Southern, intellectual Poverty, anti-Law-and-Order Center has good reason to argue that this case is "unique," because if it isn't, the Revolution is doomed. Of course, they don't intend to win this. ("What's our Ferguson angle?" they asked around the table in November's management meeting.) Like literally everything they do, it's a ploy to get in the papers and put more rich Commies' money in Morris Dees's pocket.

Boys, when the Revolution comes, it won't be your revolution. I'd get your visa in order for Cuba or maybe Iran.

not surprised something like this hadn’t happened sooner. You have to figure there were at least a few who probably would have voted for charges. Considering that at least a few friends and family would know they were a grand juror, and depending on views, can see this happening. Again this would go against all tenants of our judicial system.

The grand jury is supposed to be a protection for the ordinary citizen against an overbearing government--it is enshrined in the Fifth Amendment.

George Zimmerman should never have had to face a trial since the charges were not brought by a grand jury--the State of Florida was determined to prosecute him so they picked a special prosecutor to circumvent the constitutional protection.

Remember when the liberals complain about the grand jury decisions they don't like, that they are attacking the Bill of Rights.
