Day 6: Casey Anthony Jury Selection Murder Trial in the Death of Caylee Anthony … Juror #1394 Says “I would see that as a guilt by omission if you will”
DAY 6: Casey Anthony was just slapped with a dose of reality that should have made her cry, it did not …
And it is my conviction that any failure to participate or be engaged entirely in that process would probably overshadow my ability to be objective about actual commission of a crime. I would see that as a guilt by omission if you will.
BOMBSHELL, ITS TIME FOR THE DEFENSE TO WORRY … Casey Anthony, attorney Jose Baez and the rest of the Team Casey defense team just got a cold hard reality check this morning by a prospective juror #1394 during the Q & A.What appeared to be an average, every day, American mom … the 2011′s version of Marian Cunningham said a mouthful that should cause pause and shock to tot mom Casey Anthony and her defense team. The potential juror does not watch Nancy Grace, nor Geraldo Rivera nor really did not watch much of the story of the disappearance and death of Caylee and the accusations of murder against Casey Anthony. However, that did not stop her from saying the powerful message below that the State prosecution better be writing down as part of their opening statement.
Out of the mouth of this average American asked to do jury duty came the voice of reason of what most ever mom, dad, brother, sister and grandparent thinks in the back of their mind and knows to be true. Sorry Casey and Jose, no amount of legal BS, smoke and mirrors will be able to wash away the following … “And it is my conviction that any failure to participate or be engaged entirely in that process would probably overshadow my ability to be objective about actual commission of a crime.” Team Casey’s job just became almost impossible as this juror who would later be excused for cause, let the cat out of the bag and put a monkey wrench in the defense’s entire argument. This is what rational people think, no parent would obstruct or interfere in the investigation of their missing daughter. NO WAY JOSE … YOU ARE SUNK!
MUST SEE VIDEO OF POTENTIAL JUROR QUESTION
Transcript Scared Monkeys Forum, Hat Tip: texasmom:
Judge Perry: Do you recall any thing about those conversation that you night have over heard?
Female Potential Juror: Just that the general consensus was, that um, she, that the defendant was some how responsible for the child’s death.
Judge Perry: As a result of what you have gleamed from the news media and any conversation that you have heard from this case, have you formed any opinions or impressions about the defend’s guilt or innocence?
Female Potential Juror: Yes sir, but may I ask a question (judge: yes ma’am). On Monday morning you read a list of allegations (Judge, yes ma’am) And if I understand correctly there was more than one allegation suggestioning that she was uncooperation or unwilling to participate in the investigation.
Judge Perry: The allegation were that she was accused of providing false infoemation to a law enforcement officer.
Female Potential Juror: Pertaining to the investigation of the crime?
Judge Perry: Yes ma’am.
Female Potential Juror:Ok, then yes I do have an opinion.
Judge Perry: And what is that opinion ma’am, … and just be frank.
Day 6: Pic Hat Tip: Brandi – VIDEO feed screen shot - did Casey Anthony think that to lose a child is the worst thing that this earth has to serve on anyone or did it just interfere with clubbing?
Female Potential Juror: OK, I will. I believe that to lose a child is the worst thing that this earth has to serve on anyone. It changes the way you see the world, it is out of the natural order of things, no matter the circumstance of that loss. My husband and I did lose a son in a car crash. Being totally involved and cooperative with the investigation that included things like the grisly details of the ME reports, scene reports, everything that went into compiling an accurate homicide report as much as it hurt us, was our parental obligation. And it is my conviction that any failure to participate or be engaged entirely in that process would probably overshadow my ability to be objective about actual commission of a crime. I would see that as a guilt by omission if you will.
Judge Perry: Let me ask you this mam, as a result of your personal life experience…
Female Potential Juror: Yes sir
Judge Perry: And as a result of what you’ve just told me, do you think you could be a fair and impartial juror in deciding this case?
Female Potential Juror: After much thought, I do not think that I could be. I believe that the opinion I just expressed would somehow overshadow my objectivity.
Judge Perry: As I told you before earlier mam one of the things we wanted to do was to have every juror be candid
Female Potential Juror: Yes.
Judge Perry: And to search their conscience, and I commend you for your candor.
GAME, SET, MATCH and CHECKMATE Casey Anthony and Jose Anthony. Sorry, but this is the common thought of every rational adult whether they want to admit it or not. It is what weighs in the back of every one’s mind … how could a mother who lost their child lie and obstruct justice if not to hide from involvement in the crime? No family situation, fabrications of sexual abuse, dysfunctional family, maturity or size of one’s brain answers the question of why waiting a month to state a child is missing and lying to law enforcement regarding you missing daughter.
Hey Baez, ya might want to think about that plea deal.

Jury Selection Day One: Casey Anthony Cries as Charges are Read Against her in the Murder of Caylee Anthony … On to Day 2
And so it begins …
The jury selection has begun in the Casey Anthony murder trial in the death of her daughter, Caylee Anthony. The jury pool will come from Pinellas county. Now the process begins in finding a jury of Casey Anthony’s peers, 12 jurors and eight alternates, to hear the case against Anthony, accused of killing her 2 year old daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony. Sadly, Caylee disappeared in 2008 and her remains were found months later about a quarter-mile from her grandparent’s , Cindy and George Anthony’s home. Jurors for this case are being asked to leave their families for two months. UNREAL. How could anyone with a job, a caregiver or any responsibility in life what so ever be asked to deal with such a hardship?
By day’s end, the judge and attorneys were left with just more than 20 who will likely come back for another round of questioning. Meanwhile, 40 more of the original 110 will go through hardship questioning Tuesday.

VIDEO of a perspective juror in the case of Casey Anthony telling Orange-Osceola Chief Judge Belvin Perry that he has an opinion and that Casey is guilty.
Tot mom Casey Anthony cried at the defense table in court when the indictment is read against her. The crocodile tears are hardly going to sway any potential jurors. Maybe if Casey Anthony had cried and searched for Caylee Anthony when she went missing, rather than partying and dancing at clubs, the tot mom would not be facing a death penalty murder case.
After rejecting a last-minute defense motion for a continuance in the courtroom on Monday, Judge Perry gave the jury pool instructions about the conditions of sequestration and what forms of media and communications they will be allowed to access during the process. He then read the indictment, during which Casey Anthony appeared to cry at the defense table, wiping her eyes and nose.

White House Reaction to Obamacare Ruling Being Unconstitutional … It’s Judicial Overreach
Yesterday, U.S. Federal District Judge Roger Vinson ruled that Obamacare was unconstitutional. The reaction from the White House was to call the ruling “judicial overreach”. The comment is rather comical seeing that even candidate Barack Obama thought that forcing individuals to purchase insurance was wrong. Actually WH, it was Congressional overreach and they did so against the will of the American people.
From Forbes comes the following White House reaction:
On the White House’s blog, spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter writes: “Today’s ruling – issued by Judge Vinson in the Northern District of Florida – is a plain case of judicial overreaching.” She continues: “Those who claim that the “individual responsibility” provision exceeds Congress’ power to regulate interstate commerce because it penalizes “inactivity” are simply wrong. Individuals who choose to go without health insurance are actively making an economic decision that impacts all of us.”
The DOJ issued its own statement: “There is clear and well-established legal precedent that Congress acted within its constitutional authority in passing this law and we are confident that we will ultimately prevail on appeal.”
Obviously, it is not well-established legal precedent that Congress can pass a law to regulate non-activity. Ultimately this law will be presented before the SCOTUS and by a 5-4 decision will be struck down. Can “We the People” imagine what life would be like if at any time the federal government to dictate and mandate what you must buy or face the consequences? Why not mandate every one have life insurance, food insurance or that you must buy fruits and vegetables or else.
As stated by judge Vindon from Powerline:
Judge Vinson held that valid legislation under the Commerce Clause must regulate an “activity:”
It would be a radical departure from existing case law to hold that Congress can regulate inactivity under the Commerce Clause. If it has the power to compel an otherwise passive individual into a commercial transaction with a third party merely by asserting — as was done in the Act — that compelling the actual transaction is itself “commercial and economic in nature, and substantially affects interstate commerce” [see Act § 1501(a)(1)], it is not hyperbolizing to suggest that Congress could do almost anything it wanted. … If Congress can penalize a passive individual for failing to engage in commerce, the enumeration of powers in the Constitution would have been in vain for it would be “difficult to perceive any limitation on federal power” [Lopez, supra, 514 U.S. at 564], and we would have a Constitution in name only.
What is the result of judge Vinson’s ruling … 47 Republican Senators sign on with Jin DeMint (SC-R) repeal bill.
The repeal of Obamacare and its movement through the appeal courts and on to the Supreme Court is setting up to be done just in time for the 2012 elections. Do Obama and Democrats really want Obamacare front and center as the main issue for 2012?

Federal Judge Roger Vinson Declared Obamacare Unconstitutional … Uses Obama’s Own Words Against Him
OBAMACARE DELT CRUSHING BLOW …
As speculated earlier today, a second judge has ruled Obamacare unconstitutional. Federal Judge Roger Vinson ruled today that President Barack Hussein Obama’s health care law is unconstitutional. To add insult to “health care” injury, the federal judge used Obama’s past words against him.
In ruling against President Obama‘s health care law, federal Judge Roger Vinson used Mr. Obama‘s own position from the 2008 campaign against him, when the then-Illinois senator argued there were other ways to achieve reform short of requiring every American to purchase insurance.
“I note that in 2008, then-Senator Obama supported a health care reform proposal that did not include an individual mandate because he was at that time strongly opposed to the idea, stating that, ‘If a mandate was the solution, we can try that to solve homelessness by mandating everybody to buy a house,’” Judge Vinson wrote in a footnote toward the end of his 78-page ruling Monday.
Judge Vinson, a federal judge in the northern district of Florida, struck down the entire health care law as unconstitutional on Monday, though he is allowing the Obama administration to continue to implement and enforce it while the government appeals his ruling.Hey Barack, words do have consequences don’t they and you do not get to have it both ways. Actually, as stated by Weasel Zippers, some one just got their butt handed to them. During the Democrat primary, Hillary Clinton’s insurance plan required that purchase insurance, Obama’s did not. Since the passage of Obamacare, the president has been singing a different tune and defending the government forcing Americans to purchase a product and claiming regulation authority for inactivity. However,
During the presidential campaign, one key difference between Mr. Obama and his chief opponent, then-Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, was that Mrs. Clinton‘s plan required all Americans to purchase insurance and Mr. Obama‘s did not.
Congress eventually included the individual mandate in the bill it passed, and Mr. Obama signed that into law in March. Since then, he and his administration have defended its constitutionality, arguing the mandate is the linchpin that brings in more customers to insurance companies, which in turn allows those companies to expand the availability and lower the cost of coverage.
However, Judge Vinson did not just strike down the federal mandate, he struck down the entire health care law, Obama’s crown jewel, as unconstitutional. Judge Vinson concluded that the federal mandate insurance requirement was so “inextricably bound”to other provisions of Obamacare that its unconstitutionality required the invalidation of the entire law. OUCH! What is the LEFT to do, as they are all whine and no legal argument?
But unlike a Virginia judge in December, Judge Roger Vinson of Federal District Court in Pensacola, Fla., concluded that the insurance requirement was so “inextricably bound” to other provisions of the Affordable Care Act that its unconstitutionality required the invalidation of the entire law.
“The act, like a defectively designed watch, needs to be redesigned and reconstructed by the watchmaker,” Judge Vinson wrote.

Sen. Schumer (NY-D) on the Three Branches of Government … the House, the Senate & the President
A civics lesson from the liberal LEFT …
More brilliance from the liberal LEFT and the party that claims that they are so much smarter than every one else. US Senator Chucky Schumer said during a CNN interview that “we have three branches of government, we have a House, we have a Senate and we have a President. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? How could a sitting Senator say anything so ignorant? Can you imagine if Sarah Palin or GWB made such a comment? The MSM would be discussing it 24/7. But when a liberal Democrat makes such an ignorant comment, it’s as thought it was never said.
By the way Chucky, just so you know the three branches of government are the executive, legislative and judicial. UNREAL!
The full text of the interview can be read at NewsBusters.
So I would urge my Republican colleagues, no matter how strongly they feel — you know, we have three branches of government. We have a House. We have a Senate. We have a president. And all three of us are going to have to come together and give some, but it is playing with fire to risk the shutting down of the government, just as it is playing with fire to risk not paying the debt ceiling.
More stupidity from the LEFT after Chris Matthews recent brilliance when he stated that the Panama Canal was in Egypt.
