On most mornings I watch the call-in program on C-Span and I shake my head that some of those callers vote and serve on juries. I trust you feel exceptionally comfortable having such people interpreting the constitution and highly complex statutes. I find it amusing that the same people who howl about judges making laws and are so comfortable with jury nullification.

I am among those who would NEVER convict somebody of violating an unConstitutional law infringing the right to keep and bear arms.

The system we have is certainly broken and has been for quite some time. But it will not be made better by having jurors willing to follow Congress, the President, or the trial court judge instead of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

You didn't answer my question: Would you vote to convict someone of violating an unConsitutional law?
