Though even that doesn’t capture my thoughts since my gut instinct is that we would be best served by having professional jurors.

And you think that is libertarian?

As our current system is organized, Hillary’s comment comes into play: “What difference does it make?” On voting, there’s almost never a real choice: the cards have already been unfairly dealt and the rules of the game (the Constitution) are as interpreted by the dealer, who also makes our bets for us. As for jury trial, 98 (or is it 99) percent of cases are now determined by plea agreements between a justice department SWAT team and a purported criminal. Where do juries even have a role?

Jurors are professionals. They’re typically paid $10/day and travel expenses. They usually throw in a greasy hamburger for lunch too.
