Jury nullification may be one of our last weapons against the tyranny of the government

Not to many jury's have enough sense to use it. I would never set on a jury and find in favor of the IRS.

But then I also agree with the man's excuse!!!

Do the IRS courts have JURIES? I thought they just had tax judges that find you still owe money....

Jury nullification? That’s when the jury shows its moxie and tells the judge the law is wrong, and not the accused?

Folks, as conservatives we need to perform our jury duty.

What if the accused concerns a second amendment issue?

What if the subject is an effort to take a persons home to give it to a developer?

What if the case is about an acorn worker registering fake voters?

Jury duty is where the law and the citizenship of “we the people” reach nexus.

The final decision is not left to lawyers or judges. It is left to the citizens. The only way around that is for the parties to select to settle or select a judge trial.

I am simplifying.

However, jury duty is just as valuable as voting. (well voting outside of chicago)
