Edit: MSNBC is reporting that the story (in the Washington Post...I think) saying that they wanted to move this trial to San Diego, CA was NOT true.
Maybe they read the constitution then? wink




TIS, compromises regarding the Constitution are as old as the Republic. Trying to follow it strictly is impossible if you want a dynamic Nation. No doubt the reasoning in this case is the "impartial jury" provision.


Yup. Remember that the OKC bomber was tried in Denver.
If it's a federal crime they could move it out of the state with no problem, no?

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
