NC Democrats Overrule Juries

It's no secret that in North Carolina, especially at the state level, Democrats rule with an iron fist. They do what they want, even if it breaks the law, because they are above the law. They continue to do whatever they want because they know better than anyone else how to do everything. They know better how to spend your money, so they take it.

Now, however, the Democrats have sunken to a new level of destruction of the concept of a government run by the people. It's often said that the primary protections of freedom in a republic are the ballot box, the cartridge box, and the jury box. Well, the Democrats know that, so they try and take those away from free people.

They've already taken away the ballot box with gerrymandering and bribery. They're trying to get the cartridge box, but this state is still very rural overall, and there's just too many people (and Ogres) that simply will refuse to comply with any firearms laws. But now they've gotten the jury box.

The Democrats in the Legislature have decided to set up a star chamber of appointed political cronies who will be able to overrule jury decisions. So, if the star chamber doesn't like your jury's decisions, they'll just throw it out. Well, at least we've still got the cartridge box...

1 Just a note on gerrymandering. Ellie Kinnaird has submitted bills over the last few years to redistrict North Carolina without any gerrmandering. Much to the chagrine of some Democrats because it might cost us seats. If Republicans gave up gerrymandering I would support it, but until then you fight fire with fire.

2 Republicans in North Carolina have been fighting gerrymandering for years. The redistricting fight after 2000 showed that very clearly.

3 I find it funny how really far out left wacky liberal progressives prop up Ellie Kinnaird as some intelligent Senator. She is widely regarded as a kook by most of the GA, even by other corrupt Democrats.

Kinnaird is *SO* concerned about gerrymandering and making everything *FAIR* that when residents of her own county, Orange County, asked her to support a District Representation Bill for the Orange County Board of County Commissioners, she, Verla Insko, and Joe Hackney blocked it. Why? So that only Democrats could be voted in as County Commissioners and no conservative values could be brought to the table.

Kinnaird = Kooky, Korrupt, Karrboro values

4 I'm not a Kinnaird fan, I was just pointing out that Democrats (some) are willing to redistrict even when it would cause a loss of seats. Find me one Republican anywhere who has offered to do the same. In any state. Anywhere.

5 Every single Republican that was in or running for the North Carolina Senate in 2000 and every Republican in the Senate from 2000-2002.

6 Okay, let me rephrase that. Name on Republican anywhere who is in power because of gerrymandering that has submitted a bill to outlaw it. THAT is what I was trying to say. I'll admit that even most Democrats won't do this.

7 I'm not sure that it would be legal or constitutional to actually outlaw it. The courts have said that it's not unconstitutional to actually gerrymander, so maybe it can be outlawed, but with the moronic "Voter Rights" act renewal, North Carolina can't sneeze without asking the federal government's approval.
