Who determines the rights of the people: the government, or the people themselves? I contend that individual jurors rightfully determine which laws are just and which laws violate their rights as free citizens.

Apparently, the person who wrote the above letter was correct. I didn't realize it either. This was one link on the subject. It's quite lengthy....but the guy makes his arguement very well.
Perhaps a law ISN'T 'just or fair' and only the person's peers have the power to 'rearrange or interpret' the law. I''m not sure that this isn't a good thing.
