USA Conceived in Freedom

The people elect the legislators and thus control what becomes law.  If the law if applied to an individual, there is a trial. If the people, represented by the jury, don't like the law, the jury can and does find the defendant not guilty, even if he is clearly guilty of the crime.  In this way the people are a final check on the government.

A judge could not find a jury that would convict a marijuana smoker.  Just so.  But the judge and newspaper do not seem to understand how USA works, or is designed anyway.  We can and should withdraw our consent to be governed.
