# Sunni Maravillosa - Open Letter to Kathleen Hiserodt Regarding LFB's decision not to carry 'The Black Arrow' - For some reason, Ms. Hiserodt thinks that Laissez Faire does not apply to human sexuality. Whyever would a book store dedicated to liberty refuse to carry one of the biggest beacons of liberty in recent memory? Sunni encourages her to change her mind. [sunni]
# Dwight M. Callaway at Freedomlaw.com - The Jury, Stupid ! - why the jury is, in the words of Thomas Jefferson, "the only anchor ever yet imagined by men, by which the government can be held to the principles of it's constitution."
# Dwight M. Callaway at Freedomlaw.com - Why Jury Nullifications Will Transform America - more on why it's important to educate Americans about their right and duty as jurors to judge the alleged law as well as the alleged law-breaker. Long. I only skimmed it. Lots more jury nullification articles on Freedomlaw's Justice page.
Judges are caught red-handed in a huge lie. On the fundamental question of whether or not the jury has the power to "veto" or "nullify" (in the case they are hearing) any law that violates the jury's conscience, there is no real debate possible. This is why lawyers and judges try to ignore and evade the Jury Education movement. If they enter into a public debate outside the courtroom with a well-informed, articulate and reasonably experienced Jury Educator they will be badly beaten and embarrassed, every time.
FACT: Judges may not and do not overturn a verdict of "not guilty" in criminal trials, even when the defendant freely admits he broke the "law". A "jury veto" is absolute and final. To be sure, judges will try hard to prevent a jury veto by various bluffs and subterfuges: Jury tampering "instructions"; an invalid and unenforceable "jury oath" to accept the law as written, to ignore conscience and common sense; and various other tricks. All of the judges' tricks are in fact Jury Tampering, which is a felony. To defeat a judge who would try to pressure jurors to return to the jury room and to change their verdict to guilty, (which occasionally does happen) all jurors have to do is to say to the judge: "Your honor, with all due respect, our verdict is final." Then the jurors could just fold their arms and smile at the judge!
A crime has been committed against the people by judges and lawyers. The crime continues and a cover-up is in effect. It is probably the greatest political scandal of American history. However, all we have to do to defeat the judges and the lawyers is to educate enough people about the true power of the jury.

# DS Miller - Sony BCG-34HUE4 15-Minute NiMH Battery Charger with Four 2500mAh AA Batteries - this looks like the best bet for my new camera. I bought a charger with some 1800 mAh batteries at Radio Shack yesterday, just so I'd have something, but it's a trickle charger. This is the fastest one I've seen, and the biggest battery capacity. $36. [google]
