There should be a rule that says ANY case that is politically tinged may NOT be tried in D.C. An alternate state can be chosen at random as the venue.

Yancy’s idea of expanding the jury pool to all of the adjoining states is also a good idea.

It would be helpful if you shared with us how you propose to get enough of the democrats to vote for all of that…

Jurisdictional changes can be accomplished with statutory legislation. If you have a majority in each chamber, you can do it if you don’t have slugs like Rob Portman throwing a spanner in the works. Fat chance.

1. Impeach the judges. 2, burn down to ashes the courtrooms. 3. Salt the grounds. 4. Nuke from orbit to make rubblle.

In order to have a climse chance of a Republicc, DC must be utterly destroyed. No mercy.

That is, same motion in the lower court: mistrial on grounds x, or y, or z, or combos.

aNanyMouse, to the limited extent I understand the procedure I’d figure no fast track in either case, since there’s no urgency requiring the unusual step to skip a level. Just have to slog it out, one normal step at a time. Costly, too. All the complaints come to the same motion I think, just with different argument for each.

sdferr, on “the injured defendant’s recourse lays in an impartial appellate court”:

Can appeals, vs. denial of bids for changes of venue, be fast tracked to the Supremes?
Likewise, with appeals vs. judges’ denials of requests to remove a potentially biased juror?

The Constitution requires only one court, the Supreme Court, and all the others are creatures of statute. So, abolish the DC District Court and Court of Appeal. Maybe leave a magistrate to handle purely local crimes, car jacking, purse snatching, and the like. Major federal crimes can be heard in other federal courts. DC is too corrupt to continue.

Nice fantasy Art Deco.

It would actually accomplish something, which moving the USDA hq to Cape Girardeau would not.

Yancey Ward,

There is no “constitutional fix for the sixth amendment issue” because the democrats adamantly oppose actual “constitutional fixes”.

This situation is not happenstance, it is the result of design.

“when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.”

Eventually, in the not too distant future, we’re either going to enforce that anew or accept living upon our knees.

Irreconcilable differences are irreconcilable when ‘compromise’ consists of “heads we win, tails you lose”. When political opposition founded in simple disagreement results in loss of employment, even to imprisonment.
