One former terrorism prosecutor says:

“How often do American citizens get charged with sedition or inciting discontent and resistance against big government? Heck, most citizens are discontented with the government,” said Lloyd Meyer, a Chicago lawyer and former terrorism prosecutor. “In this case, no one pulled a trigger and no one got hurt. ... A jury could believe that the feds went after this group with a meat cleaver instead of a scalpel.”

Among the prospective jurors who so far have made it through: A man who thinks undercover work is an invasion of privacy and unfair;

[A] former assistant manager for a logistics company who lost his job two years ago and now spends most of his time caring for a school-aged daughter recovering from a kidney transplant. He said he believes spying on people is an invasion of privacy.

“You’re basically paying someone to lie and deceive people. I don’t think that’s right,” said the potential juror.

He was allowed to stay over a prosecution challenge because he said he could be fair when viewing the evidence. For sure, the prosecutors will use a challenge on him.

Also making the cut: A woman who burned down her ex-husband's house after he allegedly tried to sell their daughter for $60,000. She told the court:

"I'm not a bad person. I was beaten all the time. I just overreacted," she said of the arson.

Also making the cut: two women who suffer from attention deficit disorder.

Among those dismissed: A former bedbug exterminator who uses medical marijuana. I wonder what the reason was for his cut.
