hhhmmm. I like that idea.
What happened to the system in the first place
(excuse my ignorance on this matter).
It takes many $thousands to pursue
a Supreme court challenge today.
And the politicians will be defended
by the $100's of millions available to the state.
Justice cannot prevail in this scenario.
Please tell me more about the Grand Jury
(by private e-mail if you like).
Is this an area in which you have experience, expertise?

No expertise, semper_libertas.
I've just started my study of the Grand Jury system.
Here's a link to one site.
http://www.sandiego.courts.ca.gov/superior/public/grandjury.html#QUALIFICATIONS
Under the heading "Duties,"
Notice the last sentence of the second paragraph--
"The grand jury may inquire
into written complaints
brought to it by the public."
Most Grand Jurys are intiminated by the prosecutors.
Some are courageous enough to fulfull their duty,
and ignore the advice of the government officers.
That's where the term "runaway Grand Jury" comes from.
It describes a Jury that does not follow the advice of the prosecutor,
but instead investigates into areas that it considers relevant.
With a restored Grand Jury system,
free of government control,
the people could bring the government to trial,
at government expense, not personal expense.
