>landmark case Miranda v. Arizona. The decision requires police to inform.... of their constitutional rights...

1) SCOTUS doesn’t get to ‘intend’ *anything*. They are to rule on the merits of Law and Constitutionality (moreso the latter than former)

2) How ‘bout a case where the JUDGES are required to re-inform the jury their ability (obligation) to judge not only the case but the LAW (IE: Jury nullification)?? Instead, we have ‘judges orders’ and the like

(IE: Jury nullification)

It's been about ten years since I was called for jury duty. While I was being questioned by the DA, the subject of Jury Nullification" came up. When I indicated that the jury has the DUTY, not just the "right" to nullify stupid laws, I was dismissed. I have never been called again.
