"...Asking jurors to interpret the Constitution is not what one is asked to do in a courtroom. Jurors are asked to decide whether someone is guilty or not guilty of breaking THE LAW. # 61 by sinkspur

Jurors have the responsibility of interpreting the Constitution. That's what jury nullification is all about.
Jurors are not required to blindly follow bad laws.

Agree , I know this first hand, I have done so as a member of a Jury.........really pissed off the Goobermint little-gators and the Judge ! Point is it was something we as jurors had to discover ourselves as it was alledgedly illegal for any of the pre-trial instructions to suggest such nullification.....
BTW great colors but real confusing :o)
Stay Safe !
