Palin Supports Jury Rights

Always hate to cause Patterico potential work-related headaches on his own site, but I happen to give a personal thumbs up to this.

Naturally, it can be abused by a lone nutcase among any 12 random people on the street, but the general concept remains valid.  The challenge is how to preserve the legitimate right of a collective check on government overreach, without empowring anarchists and their fellow travelers with a ‘heckler’s veto’.
