The odds of him getting a jury empaneled of his peers are zilch especially in light of the latest IRS and U.S. prosecutors' admissions of snoopery. as far back as the 1940s Yes for years, Baltimore prosecutor to one according the IRS and U.S. Attorney Offices have been in cahoots in investigating prospects for federal jury duty. Their intent: to pinpoint biases. those with possible And to them, combing tax returns or anti-governme- nt obtaining information about previous IRS investigations is the best place to start. Having denounced the crown and saying what he did about, The government that governs best governs least, would have landed Jefferson in the slammer in no time with no questions of reasonable doubt weighing heavily on the conscience of his prosecutor. And so today with Assistant Attorney General Richard L- - Thornbergh I publicly condoning the practice: it. Were dont see anything wrong with entitled to as much information as possible to select juries with some integrity. . . . Ah, therein lies the irony of it all. Since when have we begun to equate bias with integrity and the lack of it with bias. Somewhere it seems Thomas Jefferson, a man of both great integrity and to some bias, had somedegree, do with thing guaranteeing the right to trial by an impartial jury. pro-governm- it. anti-governme- anti-governme- lour Honor, I can assure you none of these jurors have any anti-governme- nt nt nt bias. i i i ; V ! V JIMMY CARTER y t 1 v re-elect- ed n ? S' T. Theres a fair amount of talk these days about ethnic purity. But, like a lot of things, I dont believe people knew what was said in the first place. The truth is that all sorts of Americans live in ethnically homogeneous neighborhoods. Poles, Italians, Spanish, Jews, Chinese, etc., have been known to want to live together. Jimmy Carter said that he wouldt be for breaking them up. He also said that he would support any persons right to move into the neighborhood if they want. Whats wrong with that position 1 The simnle truth is that most Americans would agree with jf f v it. I re-elect- The Prince Column by John Prince all-ti- ethnic purity statement will take its place alongside George Romneys I was brainwashed remark. Again, I dont agree. To begin with, Mr. Romneys statement was an improper use of the term brainwashed. Anyone captured in Korea could tell you that. But the big mistake that Gov. Romney made was not backing away from some reason, good old George kept using the what he said. term more and more. But Jimmy Carter is smarter. He apologized for using the term ethnic purity. The truth is that he had nothing to apologize for, but he did it anyway. Now thats a lesson Richard Nixon could have learned. So I wouldnt look for this slip of the tongue to trip Gov. Carter. As a matter of fact, Id put my money on him to go all Cheers, John Prince. A lot of people seem to believe that the f I: rT the way on the Democratic side. Some still look for Kennedy, but I don't think so. Senator to the Kennedy would do better for himself to get Senate. His best time would be to take dead aim on 1980. To have a real chance at that, he would want to have Ford I wonder who he will vote fori And then there is Hubert Humphrey. Havent we had enough of himl If I were a good Democrat, I would be mad as hell at the idea of someone getting my party's nomination without ever entering a primary. Beyond that, Humphrey is vulnerable. His health might be in question. He is one of the big spenders and he paid .10 cents on the dollar to a lot of people after the last election. Some people believe that it will end up with a Humphrey-Carte- r ticket. Once again I don't think so. I put my chips on Carter. And where do we look for the number two man on the ticketl The same state that we always look to And what do we findl A Catholic governor by the name of Brown. The most popular governor ever in that state. An man-n- ot a big spender. Perfect. A Carter-Brow- n ticket will be dynamite. It's as simple as that. When all the dust settles, the Democratic ticket will be Carter and Brown. A Baptist from Georgia and a Roman Catholic from California. They both sound like evangelists and God might well be on their side. first-Califor- nia. anti-establishm- V i k r Prince, Langheinrich, & Greer |
