Well, I hope you can reconcile that with your juror oath.

If you refuse to deliberate, though, and one or more of the other jurors report you to the judge, you may be subject to some close questioning and find yourself in contempt.

We've had a run of cases here recently where jurors were removed from cases for refusal to deliberate. They fall both ways -- in some cases it was decided that it wasn't actually a refusal to deliberate but a decision on the facts (not the law) and the conviction was reversed. In others the removal was held proper. In either case, the appeals court mandates inquiry of the juror, under oath.

You were saying ...

I won't have any problem at all..., and neither will anyone else who knows that if there is an unjust and oppressive law that a corrupt system is trying to enforce -- can be stopped dead by jurors. That's what jurors need to know.

I wouldn't have any problem deliberating ... but I know what counts... and that's when it comes down to a vote... jurors can be smart and do the right thing when it comes to unjust laws put into place by Marxist/Liberal/Leftists for the purpose of oppressing people.

Jurors need to be informed of how to stop these things dead in their tracks. Conservatives need to be informed and educated.
