Maybe they should hold the trial in Gitmo’, or maybe NYC.
They should move it to Bezerkeley .. he’s guaranteed a sizeable jury pool of his ‘peers’ there.
It sounds as though Holder wants the case kept in Arizona so the ‘RATS can beat us over the head with it everyday with their whines and rants about Loughner being “tortured” in an Arizona jail and his not having the chance of receiving a “fair” trial in Arizona. oy.
There is something being hidden here. Not sure what or why, but this is another one of the many odd things about this case and reactions to it.
The Feds already have their control mechanisms in place in Arizona.
The DNC is working to taint the Jury pool and don’t want the Trial moved.
SD makes sense to me.
That idiot of a sheriff has screwed up the jury pool in AZ.Want to bet every member of the pool will be asked if they belong to some tea party
The crimes were committed in Arizona. The trial should be held in Arizona. If there is any question about the trial no being fair, then that issue can be taken up on appeal.

I gather that just about every federal judge in southern Arizona, probably including Phoenix, has recused themselves because they were too close to the dead federal judge.
But moving the case to San Diego doesn’t seem to make it any better, because both AZ and CA are in the 9th Circuit, and the judge knew a whole bunch of other judges in CA.
However, both Utah and New Mexico are in the 10th Circuit, so there would probably be no problem finding a judge there. Yet there is probably some tradition or precedent against jumping between federal judicial districts.
I’m confused. I thought all the Federal Judges in AZ were recused because their boss was one of the dead? Wouldn’t that necessitate a change in venue?
“But a Justice Department spokesman said Monday the department plans to pursue the case in Arizona and will fight any move to change the location.”
Help me out here, they’ll fight themselves then based on the earlier report?
It sounds like Holder is trying to get an aquittal (or mistrial). If every judge in Arizona has recused themselves, why fight moving it?
If the shooter was a Hispanic who didn’t agree with the Congresswoman’s support of Border Control, would they still move the trial to San Diego?
I’m thinking more like Nome, Alaska.
