Do you believe juries should have more rights?

Question

The Vice Presidential candidate running with Bob Barr says;

Jury Rights I support an amendment being made to the US Constitution that would eliminate the practice of 'voir dire' (prosecutorial jury-rigging), make jury service optional, and clearly enumerating the right of the citizen-juror to judge the law in trials, as well as whether or not the law was broken. This amendment would also mandate that all jurors must be informed of their rights before the beginning of every trial. Such an amendment would clarify the vague language (referring to the "common law") of the 6th amendment to the US Constitution, and leave no room for tyrant judges and prosecutors to manipulate the law in favor of a conviction. Such an amendment has often been referred to as a "Fully Informed Jury Amendment."

Answer 1

Nonsense.

The prosecution and defense have equal opportunity to rig a jury.

And juries always have the right to disregard Judge's instructions.

Instead of passing yet another law, educate people as to their rights.

Answer 2

That's why Bob Barr is where he is.  Your average jury consists of 14 (12 and 2 alternates) people who were too stupid to get out of jury duty.

Answer 3

Again... before you start posting "facts," you need to consider your source. You are getting it from a campaign website trying to push you one way or the other. I don't think this is a good way to promote a campaign if you're trying to do it. It's between 12 am and 3 am in the United States. This question is going to be gone in a matter of hours.
