Analysis of Daschle's risky gambit

The blog "Political Brief" notes that Judge Piersol had some laudatory comments for Senator Daschle a mere FOUR DAYS AGO. There's also some good analysis of what prompted Daschle to make this move. DVT notes that Daschle's lawyers rested after one white guy from Virginia claimed Indians were being intimidated at Lake Andes. You'd think that they'd actually bring the allegedly intimidated Indians up to the courthouse. The fact that there wasn't one single Indian who testified tonight speaks volumes about the strength of Daschle's case.
