Calhoun believes, and I am not sure
I can disagree with him,
:14:04
that this could take us all
one long step closer to civil war.
:14:09
- This?
- Yes, Mr President.
:14:12
But all is not lost.
:14:15
The jury appears likely to free them,
but juries can be dismissed.
:14:21
They can?
:14:24
But I believe we must go further
and remove the judge.
:14:27
We can do that?
:14:30
He could be prevailed upon to recuse
himself for any number of reasons.
:14:34
With that in mind,
:14:36
I've taken the liberty of
exploring possible replacements.
:14:39
I've found one I strongly
believe to be better.
:14:44
He's young, which means he has a
career before him rather than behind,
:14:48
he has yet to feel the hankering
:14:50
for magnanimous last gestures
for the sake of posterity.
:14:54
And he is monumentally insecure,
:14:56
particularly about
his Catholic heritage.
:15:00
- He's Catholic?
- His grandfather was Catholic,
:15:03
which young Mr Coglin has striven
all his days to keep quiet.
:15:07
Mr President, Judge Coglin.
:15:09
Judge Coglin,
we are so pleased to meet you.
:15:12
Thank you so much for coming.
:15:35
I've been reading in the papers
:15:37
the continuing saga
of the, uh, Amistad.
:15:42
Real papers.
:15:44
Real papers. Yes, sir.
:15:48
Yes. Bad luck,
this last unfolding chapter.
:15:53
What to do now, eh?
:15:55
Which is why I came here
and imposed on you, sir.
:15:59
No imposition...really.
