Cubic Dollars

[Raymond C Drouillard]

Greg,

That is very interesting.  Where can I get documentation on that fact?  I
am always interested in what the constitution REALLY says, rather than
some of the more <ahem> interesting interpretations that I have seen.

The next time I am called to jury duty, I would like to have in my hands
documentation that I have the right to judge the law as well as the
defendant.  That would keep me from being forced to convict someone of a
crime that shouldn't exist.

Of course, the real effect of such paperwork would probablly be to get me
excused from the jury.  I would need to find a way to keep that from
happening.
