From the Constitution Party Archives: "It's the jury stupid"

From the Constitution Party of Idaho:

If Thomas Jefferson were here today, and saw a nation where people complain, petition and fight (and usually lose) incessant defensive battles with a corrupt and unresponsive government; saw a nation where the government servants have often become our masters; saw a nation where the citizen’s most powerful and easily available tool to control government has been gradually concealed and almost hidden by judges; saw a nation where the people impotently complain and whine about government and feel resentful, frustrated and cynical, while the most powerful and available solution we have ever had lies dormant and almost forgotten, perhaps Thomas Jefferson would raise his voice and shout to all of America: “IT’S  THE  JURY,  STUPID!” . . .


But as jurors we can personally, directly and immediately reduce the abuses and the power of government by refusing to enforce unnecessary and abusive laws and regulations.  And fairly quickly even the size and the expense of government will be reduced because of Jury Nullifications.

Government wields all usurped power, intimidates and controls people by one and only one means: by enforcing bad laws.
