Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 27, 2022

Jury nullification

red caps?

Ohh that statement will get some people angry for some strange reason.

And why i don’t like juries to begin with.

I thought peeps were those things that people put in microwaves and melt.

Gah, scary

Republicans hate accountability even more than they hate evidence.

peeps are on social media, anyways. So we get trial by a jury of our pear-shaped social influenza’s!

This is what the GOP wanted the Jan. 6 commission to look like. That’s why they selected people who denied the 2020 election was stolen to be in it (whom were rejected of course). They just wanted to gum-up the works with and delay the process.

Until tRump came to office I really did not care if Repubs or Demos were in power. Now that he has been and now that I have seen what he does and how he lies, and all the deceit and falsehoods given by his fellow pubs in desperation to keep him in office and to deny the existence of the insurrection, I have a preference now. I’m sure you can guess what it is.

Sovereign citizen, anyone?

Reminds me of the O J Simpson trial. Evidence by darned.

Took a while to sink in as I am nowhere near up to modern slang

Reminds me of the O J Simpson trial. Evidence be darned.

The lawyers tend to pick people that will vote the way that specific lawyer wants the outcome. It is more of a , who can convince the jury best

Jury of sheeps.

“Heck with possibility of being hung; let’s go out and hang someone else.”

Dang that trial seems awful familiar. “We find the defendant not guilty on the grounds that we don’t care if he is.”

This reminds me of the Mad Magazine parody of “Planet of the Apes”. The courtroom scene where Heston demanded to be tried by a jury of his peers. And one of the gorilla guards complains: “Be reasonable. Where are we going to find twelve billionaire actors who speak in a monotone?”

Few people know that it was Bill Clinton who first mentioned the pharse “Make America Great Again” during one of his Presidential speeches.

Why Trump wasn’t charged in NYC.

As long as our current Judicial System actively promotes the integration of Church and State it is our duty and responsibility to point out how much that violates the original intent of the Founding Fathers.

Don’t try to pack the Court! Instead Impeach the last three Supreme Court Justices for lying to Congress in regard to their respect for Precedence.

I am assuming the red hats are THOSE red hats

The Qpublican Court System.

12 angry white, right-wing populists……………………………………please, GoComics, don’t ban me for writing, “white.”

Evidence? We don’t need no stinkin’ evidence!

Is that a jury, or the SCOTUS?

Robert Frost — ‘A jury consists of twelve persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer.’

Not a bad idea really. Let’s have a court contest. State vs State and Federal vs Federal. Least guilty verdicts wins.

PEEPS ? Is it Easter already? Didn’t we just have that?

should have been a chicken on trial and a bunch of chicks in the jury. Then, after the trial, allthe chicks can come to my place and partay

So Wiley IS going to mention the January 6 “committee”? :-)

The Senate, writ small.

Looks like the Forman of the Jury is not only a peer, but a close relative. The defendant looks happy, as he should be, because he has gotten away with his crime.

Its the next sham trial that has me worried

Some people consider ignorance a virtue. The more ignorant they are the more virtuous they think they are. It’s dangerous to all of us when they become the majority and at the levers of power. SCOTUS ?

Sussman had a jury of peers—all Hillary voters and donors; Did THEY look at evidence?

Maybe they all use Farmalls.

peeps references friends and like minded individuals (also candy that looks like baby chicks). Looked it up. So if tHump gets indicted I guess he is hoping for his jan 6 accolades to make it on the jury. Like watching a really bad western like destry rides again. Anyway, Wiley is brilliant again. just please be careful. Fascists and Authorities when they take power, the first thing to go are the Comedians, Cartoonists and voices of reason. side request. I use to call the toilet the john. Now I tell people I am going to use the tRump. Seems appropriate and I hope everyone starts to use that. Rightful place in history.

The original phrase was “A jury of peers” – as in the English peerage. The idea was to keep the monarch from having arbitrary power over the nobles (“peers”); they would have to b e tried by other peers rather than by royal fiat.

It did not, of course, give their vassals the same right.

Why Garland is taking his time

Peeps?

My fellow peeps…. (in this context, peeps being followers and lovers of Wiley :)). No matter what everybodys opinion is, no matter who thinks what politician s*cks and wants to slap them silly, I thank GOD I live in a country where we can commiserate like this (….. at least until they repeal the 1st amendment)

Excuse me, being from the other side of the planet, but could this by any chance be called “Contempt of Court”?

It could be worse. They could be trying to find a Jury of Snuffy Smith’s peers.

Me thinks that “Why is not called ‘The right to a jury of your perps’ “ fits better, but what do I know ? ?

I noticed that the drop down calendar is off by one day. Anyone else notice? Or have I broken the fourth wall in my reality?
