Hmmm, yes, those seem equatable to me. Ooooh! Close! One was a public forum...one was the government literally saying she could laugh at something.

Yes, past behavior on her part that exactly mirrors what she denies doing will tend to cast doubt on the credibility of her assertions of complete innocence. Quote:Yep. You're learning! Quote:Everyone? I was talking about Sessions and those who felt that way. I didn't realize that meant EVERYONE who voted for Trump. Interesting! As above, I'm taking your past statements on this exact subject and pointing out that your statement here is just the latest example of painting all those who don't share your views as racist, misogynists or both. Quote:Ooooh! Close! One was a public forum...one was the government literally saying she could laugh at something. I think you meant to say couldn't instead of could. I'll assume that's the case. You seem to be confused either way, as she wasn't convicted for laughing, as clearly stated earlier in this exact thread. But you knew that and are now engaging in Fred Tactics. Quote:Hey, I didn't want you to have a bad day. You're certainly not the arbiter of whether that occurs or not, but thanks? Quote:We all know what can happen then. No, please enlighten us.

Quote:“She did not get convicted for laughing. It was her actions as she was being asked to leave,” the jury foreperson told HuffPost at the time. She's yelling things like "this man is evil, pure evil" while being removed, and her buddies are there in KKK outfits... and the judge says "oh, we need a retrial because the jury doesn't know better"? Sounds like a judicial overreach to me. RE: US Dept. of Justice is literally prosecuting a woman for laughing at Jeff Sessions - NATI BENGALS - 07-16-2017 I cant believe there was a jury trial for this and there could be another. Money well spent...

The legal argument would be that the jury was given inaccurate information or instructions. The crux being that the prosecution misrepresented the facts of the case or law. Of course, that kind of argument should be made by defense counsel. Not sure how it's the prosecutions fault that the defense failed to do their job. Quote:She's yelling things like "this man is evil, pure evil" while being removed, and her buddies are there in KKK outfits... and the judge says "oh, we need a retrial because the jury doesn't know better"? Sounds like a judicial overreach to me. Judges are human, and thus susceptible to standard human failings. She wasn't charged with laughing, the laughing is what got her booted from the hearing. She was charged for the scene she made after she was booted. This case does jive well with the theme of the past year or so though, if you don't like the results of the first trial/election then just throw all your efforts into delegitimatizing the result you don't like and try, try again. You see it here, with Trump and with Brexit.

And your white people meme? An addition to being an outright lie, it had no bearing on what SSF was alluding to. Hey but "never let a good crisis go to waste" ...good opportunity to take advantage of this thread about an obnoxious "rebel" rouser facing charges by turning it into a Jeff Sessions bashing thread. Say whatever the hell you want about Ann Coulter, but she was spot on when she said "you can never have a point to point debate with a liberal because they jump from one inane "point" to another so you can never nail them." So true.

Quote:Kimberly Paschall, an attorney for the government, argued during a court hearing on Friday that “Ms. Fairooz was not merely responding” to her arrest. “She wasn’t just merely responding, she was voicing an opinion,” Paschall said. I had previously thought she was arrested for the things she said after, but the assistant US Attorney is saying — at least here — that it was the laugh that got Fairooze in trouble. I don't have any issue with them prosecuting her for comments made after she was asked to leave. And I don't have any issue with her being asked to leave for laughing. But to prosecute for laughing is a bit much.

Quoting them out of context serves no purpose. RE: US Dept. of Justice is literally prosecuting a woman for laughing at Jeff Sessions - Vlad - 07-17-2017 Pretending as though this was the first time this woman was accused of disruption is what is being sold around here. Instead of expensive legal action, would not a "three strikes and you're out" type of rule be more reasonable?...which would ban her from attending congressional hearings after the third offense. Or will some liberal find a reason to cry about that too?

I think the charges were an overreaction. I don't know if there is a mechanism to keep citizens out of hearings? I'd agree that if someone is deliberately disruptive on multiple occasions that keeping them outside of the room would a good thing. I disagree a that a derisive laugh is disruptive enough for that.

We shouldn't keep citizens out of hearings, but anyone who disrupts should be asked to leave, and anyone who does it a 2nd time should be banned.
