Citizen Veto Power
One often hears people grouse, "If I was President...."
For everyone who believes that, if they were elected, they could change things for the better, here is some great news. There is a 'temporary public office' that you are eligible to hold! It is an office that holds the power to change law — more power, in its own way, than voting! (Voting, at best, sends someone to do your voting for you, and at worst, sends someone to vote against you!)
In a democracy, you get only one vote; in a republic there are at least two! In a democracy citizens decide who shall rule over them, but then must wait to "fire" them many years later. In a republic, the citizen has the authority to veto bad law while waiting to throw the bastards out!
How can the lawyer who runs the White House and the lawyers who dominate the Congress and the "passed master" lawyers of the Supreme Court "check and balance" each other? Where does government of, for and by the rest of the people (i.e., non-lawyers) occur?
There are two places where you have the right and the power to rule the rulers — in the ballot box, and in the jury box! And you must register to step into either one!
Study the trial of William Penn! A "guilty" verdict would have meant execution. He had actually broken the law, but four of his jurors decided that the law itself was wrong. They found him "not guilty" of wrong, and because the law was proven to be unenforceable, it was removed from the books! Citizen veto power at work!
What do experts have to say about it?
"The jury has the power to bring a verdict in the teeth of both law and fact."
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, 1902
"The jury has a right to judge both the law as well as the fact in controversy."
~ John Jay, First Chief Justice, 1789
"The pages of history shine on instances of the jury's exercise of it's prerogative to disregard instructions of the judge...."
~ U.S. vs. Dougherty, 473 F 2nd 1113, 1139, (1972)
"The people are the masters of both Congress and courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it!"
~ Abraham Lincoln, President [emphasis added]
