... the prosecution’s case was speedily presented, and the defense — though there are 7 individual defendants each able to present a case — has also gone faster than expected ...

The jury was sent home for the day mid-afternoon Friday. The defense may present more witnesses on Monday. But closing arguments are in sight.

Once the defense rests, prosecutors will begin their rebuttal and may possibly call Harney County prosecutor Steve Grasty. Closing arguments would follow, with federal prosecutors going first. Each of the 7 defendants will be allowed to make closing arguments as well.

Then this case will go to the jury ...

1. Bummer

I suppose the prosecutors figure that for the charges against the Bundy Terrorist Gang the case has already been made, and there's no point in keeping the jury from its deliberations. But I would have loved to see Ryan and Ammon and the rest of them raked over the prosecutorial coals for their demented and unamerican views.

2. The sooner we get this over with, the better.

The Bundy group's 6-step plan for patriots:

1) Bring guns.
2) Seize control of a bird sanctuary.
3) Make brainless statements to the media.
4) Call out for snacks.
5) Suffer humiliating arrest.
6) Get thrown in slammer.

Ok, I guess that's it.

3. Couple more

7) Lose right to own beloved guns
8) Own guns anyway
9) Get thrown back in slammer

You know it'll happen

7. They could well get themselves in

another mess, no question.

And after the Malheur incident, who would put it past them?

9. Won't be over though. A lot more taxpayer money will be squandered until the Bundys have

exhausted all of their appeals.

10. Sad to say, that's probably right.

And there are their wretched egos to contend with as well.

When they were occupying Malheur, they called out for snacks. Some of their supporters across the country sent snacks, but some of their detractors sent gummi-dicks.

I think it's fair to say that a statement was being made.
