MYTH: There's nothing we can do about the ethics crisis of the Supreme Court, especially from Thomas

[ck4829]

FACT: Google "Jury Nullification"

If something is now illegal because Thomas was in the majority of a decision or if a right or protection is restricted because of Thomas,

no matter what it is...

Reproductive rights
Gay rights
Mirandizing

Then if I am on a jury, then I will say "Not guilty" no matter what. You should too. And don't talk about it when selected for the jury, don't say "Oh, they will screen people out", it's time to get the word out. Every American citizen needs to know that they are either going to protect themselves and each other from Clarence Thomas OR be an accessory to his corruption.

What are you going to choose?

1. That won't do a damn thing, at least nothing good.

Jury nullification, which doesn't fix anything but only leads to injustices like the acquittal of O.J. Simpson, will not correct the bad decisions of Clarence Thomas. He's only one of nine justices, and at least five of them are always responsible for the bad decisions. There's plenty wrong with Thomas and with the Supreme Court as an institution, but lying during voir dire and violating your oath as a juror just craps on what's left of the good parts of our legal system.

Don’t talk like this on social media.

Just sayin’.
