Don't fool yourself into thinking that you (or anyone else) is any better
off than NC, in that regard.

It only takes a couple people with big political aspirations getting ahead
of good judgment, for this to happen.

If the court is unable to meet its Constitutional obligations, the
defendant has ground for dismissal for lack of prosecution (unless
he's waived time).

That's where the defense went wrong.

HONDAJET EUROPE
(http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/bizav/987-full.html#196478)
Honda, which plans to begin mass production of the HondaJet in 2010
has announced it plans to start taking European orders for its
HondaJet in 2008, according to Nikkei. Current production targets for
the jet have jumped to 100 units per year and Honda has applied for
EASA certification. Over 100 orders for the jet have been place in the
U.S. since Honda began accepting orders in October of 2006. The
company expects its engine-over-wing design and GE/Honda engine to
allow for a better than 30 percent fuel efficiency increase over
competing aircraft. Honda expects its jet program to become profitable
sometime in its fourth year of production (circa 2014).
