No problem, and sorry my time and vehicular constraints have kept that limited lately. I do believe we can make a difference with this. Thanks for sharing the memories and continuing to promote one of the best forms of activism.
Hey there @randyclemens! I just wanted to let you know that my new post "The 40 anarchists you want to follow on Steemit!" is up, and you're on the list :-) You can find it here. I was about halfway through with this when @derekareith mentioned us in his post :-)
It's admittedly harder that way. Depending on the country, you could try legislative action, or living in a quasi-independent community. Or, maybe even leaving the country...
Well I'm not sure the judges will give up their entrenched powers so easily. The supreme courts will just find all such legislation "unconsitutional" of course. I can already see that.
The only way I see to escape this is to build our own legal system, and make the old one obsolete. Hardly anything good gets accomplished through legislation.
Great post. Question: You mentioned: "Currently, defendants are allowed to ask the judge in a case to deliver these instructions to a New Hampshire jury" so is this only in NH? Do you have any information on the law and how we can help draft similar laws in other states? I don't think you can do that in Florida.
Thanks @thedesertlynx & @ftlian for being such vocal advocates of jury nullification! And thanks for introducing me to it!

Cheers @kennyskitchen! I really appreciate you including me on there! Great list! I'm honored to be getting shoutouts from you and @derekareith :)
You deserve it for your great content!
Nice post but I would shorten the intro. I wish this was used more frequently. Especially with Liscence laws!
Another approach is to simply get rid of the laws altogether, you know...
But yeah if you are referring to for example....
Then yes-- I wish that these laws would die fast deaths.
@herbic actually posted on Steemit a few hours ago about his experience being on a jury and using jury nullification. More recommended reading! :)
Great, now what do you do with countries that have no jury system and 1 government selected tyrant decides over your future life and freedom?

Exactly. Which is why I'm such a big fan of cryptocurrency.
