Cubic Dollars

[Greg Hermann]

>Scully agrees with that one Mulder.

Yep--and remember that John Adams (yes, that one) argued that the Bill of
Rights was unnecessary cuz "NO JURY WOULD EVER CONVICT ANYBODY UNDER AN
UNREASONABLE, UNJUST LAW, ANYWAY!"  Jury nullification was an accepted part
of English (and thus American, unless you are from Louisiana) law from when
the Magna Carta was signed until the Rockefellers, Carnegies, Mellons,
Morgans, Harrimans, etc. told the gummint that it should henceforth be
called "JURY LAWLESSNESS!!" The framers considered the jury of peers to be
the ultimate check and balance in their newly designed system of
government. Really, the law on this subject has NOT changed, they just try
to tell us that it has!!! Jurors have the right to judge the law as well as
the facts in any case before them! Think about it!!

Regards, Greg
