Bush suggests new jury system
Based upon the quotes in this Washington Post article personal culpability for actions can now be based on a simple majority vote!
" President Bush said the public's decision to reelect him was a ratification of his approach toward Iraq and that there was no reason to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgments in prewar planning or managing the violent aftermath.
"We had an accountability moment, and that's called the 2004 elections," Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post. "The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me." "
Based on this reasoning all we need to do is have twelve jurors listen to the prosecutor, the defense attorney, and then vote. Majority rules. What if it's a six-six tie? Well, that's just democracy in action.
