About Me

United States
I'm informing readers that video games and politics are what I follow. I follow up on new video games and hope that oppressed peoples will secede from the U.S. Yankee Empire. I'm a big fan of the Wii U Gamepad style controls as I own a Nintendo 64, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U with plans on owning a PlayStation 4 by receiving it for Christmas.

How Undermining the Right of Juries to be informed of Jury Nullification undermines Separation of Powers

Government has three branches of government. The legislative branch makes laws, the executive branch enforces the laws, & the judicial branch applies the laws. The right to a trial by jury of peers is one of the most sacred unalienable rights humanity enjoys. However, prosecutors & judges have undermined this right by interfering with the jury process by preventing jurors from being notified about the right to judge the law & even the real facts the judge secretly disapproves of. The judiciary trial courts have even interfered with jury deliberations & even overruled acquittals because the judge disapproved of juries acquitting based on anything other than the facts.

The framers of the constitution never intended for the judiciary to take an active part in policymaking.
Alexander Hamilton stated in the Federalist Papers that the judiciary is the weakest of the three branches not having the power of the sword. Thomas Jefferson feared that if judges were to be the sole interpreters of all legal & constitutional matters then the people would be living under despotic oligarchy. The judiciary has become a despotic oligarchy. This is true because trial judges overrule any proceding of informing the jury of their right to judge the law but even certain facts that the judge disapproves of. This leaves defendants vulnerable to miscarriages of justice because if their's evidence that points to their innocence or proves they used self-defense & the judges prohibits it from being shown to the jury, then not only will an innocent man go to jail or even be executed, this amounts to a closet bench trial.

Article III of the US Constitution makes it explicit & expressed that all trial must be tried before a jury. This means that the jury MUST have the power of tribunal over the trial case. This means that the jury is to be the judge of the law as well as the facts concerning the trial. Trial judges have violated Article III Section 2 by curbing the tribunal powers of the citizen jury, creating a closet bench trial. What I mean by "Closet Bench Trial" is judges undermining the tribunal powers of the jury such as deciding behind closed doors to influence the outcome of the case.

If judges are to be the sole interpreters of the law, then limited government & the rule of law will cease to exist. The original interpretation of the Constitution has been damned by progressives, socialists, marxists, fascists, & communists like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, & Elena Kagen of the U.S. Supreme Court as examples. What jeopordizes the rule of law even further is the use of foreign & international law being used in case law such as Sharia law.
