[Constitutionalist Conservative]

Swensson is using the Magna Carta as his basis for the authority to form this citizens grand jury. The Magna Carta is the bill of rights formed on British Law.

It's a foreign document that, while philosophically attractive, has no legal weight in America.

Remember that these kinds of things cut both ways. Once we accept the idea that groups of citizens can organize and proceed to put other citizens on trial, we'll get total anarchy.

Don’t we have that anyway, with the Constitution null and void (or effectively so), only brought out for special occasions? It’s Americas wedding china.. Or we are Easter-Christmas Americans? haha and not so haha. :(
