Terry Braindead’s legacy left for us Iowans

[Menace Sockeyes]

Criminal...

 

[lucas80]

Throwing good money after bad.

 

[mstp1992]

Still managing to screw the state of Iowa.

 

[OrionPaxAPunch]

I bet it’s a valid claim too.

 

[SSG T]

Is there any way to make Branstad pay the entire bill? That would be appropriate justice.

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

Are any of you capable of acknowledging that some juries just get it wrong?

Is it possible this one got it wrong?

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

And history is clear, Branstad was good a governor.

 

[CuttyDoesIt]

How much was Barta's payout

Are any of you capable of acknowledging that some juries just get it wrong?

Is it possible this one got it wrong?

It’s possible, but not probable that entire jury would screw up that badly. More likely, I would acknowledge the state’s GOP attorneys were terrible.

Yes, some juries are “wrong.”


No, it is not possible this one got it “wrong.”

Your linked video is an example of “wrong.”

Were you present for the duration of the proceedings?

Were you?

Braindead’s a bigot. We all know that.

 

[Menace Sockeyes]

Were you present for the duration of the proceedings?

That would be a more pertinent question to ask yourself, since you question the judgement of all twelve Iowans who actually were present and listening to the entire case.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Were you present for the duration of the proceedings?

Please, if Barack Obama had been governor of Iowa, you'd be the first in line to tar and feather him for that.

Branstad is a piece of shit. Much like his son.

 

[Kenneth Griffin]

Has his kid killed anyone lately?

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

Has his kid killed anyone lately?

I have cousins who went to Dowling at that time. They all say he was a douchebag.

I'm sure he's a swell guy today, though.

Lol

I wasn’t present. But I’m not the one claiming that it’s NOT possible they got it wrong. You are though.

Based on the available evidence, the jury made the correct decision.

Branstad is a terrible person, and was a terrible governor.

You only say that because you agree with it. You wanted that conclusion even before the proceeding started.

The jury may have gotten it right, but it’s possible they didn’t.

Braindead’s a bigot and you know it.

Quit being so stuck on defending him.

I'm actually surprised Branstad didn't charge the State of Iowa for attorney's fees to keep his son out of prison when young Branstad killed the driver of the other car in that fatal car accident years ago.

Stop, just stop.

Why would you think twelve Iowans were on the jury? In a civil trial 16 jurors are impaneled and each side gets four strikes to reach a jury of eight. If the jury deliberates at least six hours, a verdict can be returned if seven of the eight jurors agree, so it doesn't have to be unanimous. See Iowa Rules of Civil Procedure 1.915(1) to 1.915(9) and 1.931(1) to 1.931(3) to educate yourself about civil procedure.

Because the one time I was called in for jury duty as an alternate, it was a jury of 12.

At least 50% of all posts you make are straight up irony. 100% are hypocritical. Keep on being you Northern.

 

[mstp1992]

Stop, just stop.

You’re the one defending Braindead and his bigoted behavior.

No reason to start lying mstp.

Projection.

Criminal trials have twelve person juries.

You don't think Braindead isn't a bigot?

Why did he ruin the career as a public servant of a homosexual man?

Why was he in favor of a state amendment banning same-sex marriage?

Branstad discriminated against Godfrey because Godfrey is gay. The court ruled on this.

Period.

Full stop.

I think all the fines and court costs should come out of Branstad's coffers, and not the taxpayers of Iowa. He can afford it.

Overturned by a predominantly "right leaning" Court of Justices.

Yeah, nothing strange going on here.

Did you read the 126 page opinion, which includes two concurring opinions? You might just learn something about Iowa law if you did.

 

[Huey Grey]

Is it really that hard to believe that Bran hates gays? I mean is it that much of a leap?

Is that why he had a gay aide from Iowa with him in China?
