Refusal is the best way to voice your opposition to things you don't agree with. Like Judges finding it harder to find jurors for marijuana trials. Is it possible to expand this?

1. It's called "Jury Nullification" |
|
They really don't want citizens to know it's supposed to be one of their checks against excessive government power....

3. Jury Nullification and DADT |
|
They go together like milk and honey, bread and butter, peas and rice. Hey that's nice!

2. You're missing the irony and possible applicatons |
|
Just say no to drugs is now being used as NO I won't be a part of convicting someone for marijuana.

4. No, I caught the "capturing" of the slogan, and it's a great idea... |
|
But the act itself, of jurors refusing to convict for unjust laws, is the too-little discussed/ thought about "jury nullification."
Of course, a series of "Just Say No" posters promoting Jury Nullification would be a terrific visual.... ;-)
