Republicans have little faith in democracy or the jury system. [View all]

They seem to believe that no one can get a fair trial if the jury is chosen from a population that is primarily Democratic by Party registration?

Why else would they not rush to clear their name if they are charged with a serious crime? If they are innocent as they profess, then why so fearful at facing a jury of your peers?

It is anti-American to distrust the cornerstone of our democracy, the justice system, in such a manner.

Perhaps, just maybe, there is another reason Republicans do not want to go in front of a jury?
