The Feds should have to reimburse the Bundys' court costs.

Before looking at the story in USA Today I thought the Feds might've over-charged them, hoping they'd take a plea bargain. But it looks more like they got a jury of their true peers, people who'd personally been bleeped over by the Feds, or whose family and/or friends had. I'm sure the Federal prosecutor tried to keep such people off the jury, but in rural counties like that might be like trying to exclude the whole population of the county and other the surrounding counties.
