Republican Senators on Twitter today admitting that their strategy was to pack the courts with political conservatives in order to enact an agenda that was too unpopular to pass through an elected, popularly accountable Congress.
Republicans are forcing a 10 year child in Ohio who was raped to carry the rapist’s fetus to term. This is barbarism. Period.
Who is going to charge someone who gets this kid out of Ohio? This is where Jury Nullification steps up to the plate and hits it out of the park!
The right of “Jury Nullification of Bad Law” is the ultimate right of the people to control their government.
JURY NULLIFICATION – THE PEOPLE CONTROLS THE GOVERNMENT NOT THE REPUBLICAN SUPREME IDIOT TRAITORS COURT.
Jury Nullification, Know Your Jury Rights
THE JURY ACTS AS THE FOURTH BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT
The Principle of Jury Nullification.
Judges and Lawyers won’t tell you that Jurors have the right to judge the law as well as the facts of a case.
Pennsylvania
In 1895, the Supreme Court ruled that jurors had no right, during trials, to be told about nullification.
The court did not say that jurors didn’t have the power, or that they couldn’t be told about it, but only that judges were not required to instruct them on it during a trial. Since then, it’s been up activist websites like the one you are on now to get the word out.
*Jury nullification is a reminder that the right to trial by one’s peers affords the public an opportunity to take a dissenting view about the justness of a statute or official practices.
“Jury Nullification” is the way people can express opposition to an unpopular legislative enactment. Judges used to inform Juries of their rights till 1895 (Sparf vs. U.S.) Now Judges in New Hampshire, Maryland and Indiana are required to inform Juries of their rights.
“I consider trial by jury as the only anchor yet imagined by man by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.” ~ Thomas Jefferson, 1789 letter to Thomas Paine
“The jury has the right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy.” ~ John Jay, first Chief Justice of the United States
Sick, extreme, barbaric, cruel, hateful, disgusting, inhumane, immoral. The difference between the political parties has never been so stark.
Mask mandates were “child abuse,” but forcing ten year old rape victims to give birth is just fine. Right Republicans?
The 1776 Restoration Movement, formerly the People’s Convoy, has descended on highways around the D.C. area and are now blocking three lanes of traffic on 95 north and 95 southbound.
Republicans will do anything it takes to help their dark money corporate backers dodge taxes. Siding with a right-wing autocrat is shameful, but that won’t stop them. Money talks louder than morals.
