The lawyer for Daniel Cowart, one of the two white supremacists charged with a hatching a plot to assassinate President-elect Barack Obama, has filed a petition to have Cowart's indictment dismissed. The grounds? Not enough white people on the Grand Jury.

Cowart's lawyer's petition states that because the 23-member grand jury had only two white members, it could not be fair and impartial.

To which we say: The next time you racist fools come up with an insane plot to kill a bunch of black people, you might want do it a little closer to, say, Boise, instead of Memphis, Tennessee. More here.
