A supreme court sponsored end run for the prince of Enron? |

I snipped and summarized from a piece at Yahoo News written by Lucile Malandain
Jeff Skilling’s lawyers are seeking an appeal from the newest corporate flunkies at the judicial branch. The grounds on which the court may consider hearing the case appear to hinge on the question of a bias jury. Since this is the collective of expertise that declared an exponentially enhanced voice for corporations as fair and just, I would ask they consider themselves as unfit to evaluate any matter regarding such entities and claim their conclusions as coming from a neutral position.
BTW, as I understand it, the convictions of the late Emperor himself, Ken Lay, were thrown out as a result of his timely passing.
Edited to insert necessary comma.

Where he continues to fly the Bush family around in the Corporate jet.
When you have that much money, the results of the plastic surgery you pay for can be amazing.

2. Display the fool like Lenin's corpse |

So Californians can sleep at night. But yeah, with money and corrupt connections, a death is easy to fake. Never looked into it though, myself.

4. Even the worst of society are entitled to a fair trial. |

And they even get to pursue their legal rights through appeals.
With all of the press surrounding Enron, can you honestly say that spending only 5 hours to select a unbiased jury was adequate?
Oh, and fwiw, Skilling also questions the constitutionality of the honset services criminal charges. He isn't alone is that argument.
