Have you ever heard the word “nullification”? Are you aware of the history of the Fugitive slave act or the Alien and Sedition act? Are you familiar with the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions of 1798? We’ve got a number of options left to us. Will we use them or will we just shrug under the chains?

This is more to the point. The cage we are being put into is narrowing and since we can't seem to back out, then we will either have to break out or live there.

Citizen Nullification

I have been passing that link around for a few days now. Citizens have the power to just refuse in large numbers, and make it null and void.

Jury nulification is still allowed under the law. HOWEVER a specific jury instruction is prohibited. (judges are scared of it)

We need to MANDATE all juries recieve a jury nulification instruction in their final instruction charge before deliberations.
