ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Probably hopeless, but do we really have to hear that a prominent Democrat will go to the Big House? Honestly, I'm about to give up on this place.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun May 22, 2016, 09:42 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This is totally over the top. Suggesting and hoping that our Democrats will and should go to prison is out of bounds. The Hillary haters need to quit being so hateful.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Hillary is not the nominee yet, and Dems get slammed here all the time if they are too conservative.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
