One bad jury doesn't spoil the whole jury system.

13. But it's not a fluke -- it's not one bad jury. The majority population has a minority

representation due to gerrymandering, voter suppression, manipulation of the census, corruption of our court system, and the hard-wired design of state level designations regardless of population density (aka the Senate and the electoral college). The corruption of our court system is mostly due in part to the fact that the power to confirm is given to the Senate and not to, at least on paper, the congressional body that is supposed to reflect the populace, the House.

The bottom line is the population is at a disadvantage when trying to exercise their displeasure at a representative body that failed them. Yes, we can protest in mass and perhaps bring the economy to a halt if people become aware and alarmed enough, but if that doesn't happen and the Republicans hold the Senate for all the reasons described above, over the backdrop of all the overt corruption that has so far taken place, then that will thoroughly demonstrate to them that they can operate with absolute impunity and that's the only precedent that will matter.
