Do you see this? This means "Have a nice day".
So what was the final deal with juror strikes? Each side only had a limited number, right?

Seriously, how much fun would it be to absolutely unload on what you thought about Trump to his face, then get placed on the jury.

Each side has unlimited strikes "for cause". So if a juror obviously couldn't be impartial they are dismissed.

I think each side gets a finite number for no reason and can raise actual objections to unlimited numbers. The latter the judge has to approve.

You would be stricken for cause.

The judge will strike however many jurors he determines absolutely have to be, each side has a limited number of strikes they could use at their own discretion.

not trump releated but the ukraine and other aid bills get voted on in the house saturday and will probably pass causing johnson to get couped.

Dems will keep Johnson in office because (a) he passed Ukraine funding and (b) a GOP speaker that relies on Dems to keep him in office means a neutered majority that’ll tear each other apart.

Dems saved McCarthy too, he was only booted on the next motion because he poo poo-talked Dems for after saving him in the first motion.

The McCarthy ousting was very cathartic (McCarthic if you will) because he was all smug “the dems are worthless idiots” in front of cameras and then record scratch “yer out!” Don’t bite the hand that feeds you, rear end in a top hat.

Each side had 10 preemptive strikes for any reason at all. They were used up yesterday which is why we filled out the jury quickly at the end.

I think most were used on jurors that leaned liberal

They just voted on whether or not they were going to vote on the bill.

They voted "yes" to vote on the foreign aid bill for funding to Ukraine, Israel, etc.

Tomorrow, they will vote on whether or not to pass this funding bill.

Since Mike Johnson put the vote to the floor, Margarine Trailer Grease will more than likely vote to remove Mike Johnson from my pants I mean from the Speakership.

Mike Johnson might be untouchable though because Dems may vote against removing him, which would thwart Margarine Trailer Grease and make her enter her final form, which is a dildo medusa.
