I think they’re most dangerous when they don’t try to make outright changes to the constitution. Much like the interstate popular vote compact being entered into by the individual states. In the case of the courts the 1895 Sparf VS US case, the supreme court ruled that jurors don’t need to know their rights and we’ve had dumb juries ever since.

Do judges like to kick off potential jurors who know that they have the right of jury nullification?
