This would be the solution... If I could just CONVINCE people. Jury nullification is the EASIEST way to rein in ridiculous extra-constitutional OVERREACH. As a juror PROMISE to obey the judges orders, then do what you damn well please because a JUROR cannot be coerced. If you feel that the law is OBVIOUSLY unconstitutional... NULLIFY IT!
Your argument sounds much like the argument Col. Terry Lakin used as he claimed the Commander in Cheif had no valid basis to claim he was a Natural Born Citizen, and therefore was not a legitimate president.
We all know how well (not) that worked out for him. Much the same way any similar claims to get out of jury duty will work for you.
Face it. We are constrained by liars and fools pretending to govern us. Just have to deal with it.
Who is assigned to enforce them, since obvioucly nobody has.
Check out Jury Nullification. The last refuge of a free people.
I don’t consider jury duty to be an honor.On the contrary it’s an imposition that cost the potential juror not only time but money as well.
Just ask a judge if you can skip out of jury duty or fail to show up on the appointed date.You will probably get a contempt of court charge thrown at you.Proving how involuntary and honorable the jury system really is.
The Only way I would look foreward to being on a jury is if I could nullify all of these anti-Second amendment prosecutions that will follow all of these new gun control laws.
I would look foreward to that.
basically what you’re alluding to is that the Constitution is in breech.
and since the law is a series of contracts based on each other... if the founding document is in breech, so are the rest
we’re living in a lawless society. we just haven’t figured it out yet
Contempt of court, anyone?
I am not a lawyer, but I really doubt this will be an effective strategy. Judges have a lot of discretion in their courts and they do not like idiotic grandstanding. If you're a juror trying to hold up the judicial process, I can see the judge charging you with contempt of court and swiftly replacing you with one of the alternatives. If you're a defense attorney, you will be charged with contempt of court along with facing legal malpractice charges from your client.
I don't see any possible positive solutions from your scenarios, but, like I say, I'm not a lawyer. If there is a lawyer here who has a better handle on how things work, I'd love to hear their take on this.
Impeachment File for B. Hussein Obama.
Your next thread should ask for proof read headline.
I don’t have to worry about ever being called for jury duty. I REFUSE to provide all the documents required to get a Federal license. This means I cannot enter a federal building. So I can’t serve. Same applies to state courts.
How does an illegal head of the executive branch effect the judicial branch?
I was a Prosecutor for 25 years. You’d probably never make it on the jury and would be tossed if you tried it. Jury nullification is different but this approach is silly and accomplishes nothing.
And you can’t just decide you get to make the State “prove” something. That is not the way the system works. You’d have zero credibility and would be tossed out of the courtroom.
Great, I’m always looking for new ways to avoid jury duty. One way is to proudly declare you’re a member of the ACLU.
Now, if everybody did it...If 500,000 people showed up in Albany, Denver, DC with standard capacity(30 rd) mags and evil black rifles.
If I was ever on Trial, I would have my Lawyer ask the Judge to verify the Citizenship of every Juror sitting in that Jury Box.
Since I have no plans of actually being put on Trial, unless it’s because I won’t comply with any of the new fashionable Obama Lover Gun Control Laws, I am waiting for the day that someone actually challenges the Courts to enforce the Constitutional Requirement of Juries consisting of your Peers, fellow Citizens, not Illegal Invaders.
With the biggest Vote Fraud scheme of the modern era, the Motor Voter Law signed by the Rapist and Cigar abusing Bill Clinton, the chances of being Judged by a Jury of fellow Citizens is seriously in doubt.
