more on the BAD 7 trial (or, civil liberties? we don't need no stinkin' civil liberties)

Yesterday, there was a moment of true (sur)realism you just don’t get on Law and Order. I’ll let Zoe tell it:

One of the strangest moments yesterday occurred when Judge Craig Iscoe ironically stated that he didnít ìwant to step on First Amendment rightsî and then ordered the seven of us to remove our political buttons when the jury was present. Judge Iscoe later stated that he regretted having to make that ruling. My button said, “Oh well, I wasn’t using my civil liberties anyhow.” Funny, eh?

Go visit Zoe’s page, she has lots of trial updates and it’s all interesting (and serious) stuff.
