the job of the jury IS NOT to decide guilt or innocents, but to PROTECT their fellow citizen from a tyrannical government..The jury's job is to decide if the law should be nullified because it is tyranny..

AND THIS is HOWyou protect your republic from an out of control government

if I'm on a jury innocent, I don't care what they did.

I sense Robert joining us.

GO TO TRIAL! It is your right!

and if your on a jury and its some BS law, like driving on a suspended, prostitution, or weed..Tell the jurry about jury nullification, and nullify the damn law for your fellow free American..Protect them from this tyranny!

THIS is what it is to be American..

...is that it allows juries to enact a kind of direct democracy.

Philosophically speaking though, it may be dangerous to allow just 12 people to essentially rewrite the law, at least in a particular instance, instead of the will of the People to really be heard.

Granted, this is the best we can do under the circumstances, but I see the potential for this to be abused.

Regardless, this is a pretty cool concept. I would just prefer that all of us got the right to vote these laws off the books, at the state and federal level.
