Do agree about apriori biased jury but since most of the people voting for extension are unaffected/unbiased that margin spoke loudest. Plus I control my own destiny more than some arbitrary date divinely hurled from the California clouds.
Kind of a debate class thing. I prefer to argue to the Aramaic death about things I don't care about.
