#SCOTUS declines to decide if 12-person juries shd be req'd for state felony cases

States eg #Florida have used 6-person juries since 1977. They have 5,000 cases now on appeal to show for it.

It's #Florida. Common sense not a strong suit.

Ditto constitutionality or justice.

#Florida. Where we are so "free" that a middle school teacher needs to reach out to parents to offer an opt-out for watching the film adaptation of Anne Frank's Diary. I admit the subject material is serious and can cause emotions to well up. But do we really wait to be protecting our kids from #Nazi atrocities at this moment in history? Would parents in other parts of the world receive similar notification about this?

"Bishop’s story, from birth to presumed death, shows the extreme danger facing right #whales, which could be #extinct in three decades if they continue to disappear at the present rate.

Bishop’s species is not doomed to #extinction, advocates say, but time is running out."

"As we have seen very clearly, there is a stark difference between Florida and many other states in this nation,” Kerner said. β€œThis is very intentional. Our governor will not bend to the shrill and illogical will of an entitled and reckless super-minority. He will not tolerate for a moment our campuses degenerating into collectives of violence and anti-American and antisemitic dogma, and neither will the Florida Highway Patrol.”
