Federal Judges Wary of Facebook, Twitter Impact On Juries

coondoggie writes "The impact of social media such as Twitter, Facebook and Google+ and others on federal juries is a concern that judges are frequently taking steps to curb. According to a study 94% of the 508 federal judges who responded said they have specifically barred jurors from any case-connected use of social media."

Notify juries of their rights of NULLIFICATION

[roman_mir]

The most important right that a jury member has is the right to judge the law, and apparently it is very dangerous in USA to notify juries of their right to do so and judges are on the side of the government on this, so they actually place people to jail who notify juries of this, even though this is an extremely important power that common people have to fight unjust laws - just always find the defendant not-guilty because the law is unjust.

One of the cases of this is discussed in this interview (the interview starts at the minute 41).

Interview is with Bernard von NotHaus, founder of NORFED & the Liberty Dollar, on exhausting his appeals process and his forthcoming prison sentencing.

This is the information on how you can help show your support by writing the Judge in Bernard's case!

Of-course do not forget that there are other political prisoners in USA, Irwin Schiff is one of them, this is an interview with Irwin Schiff from 2004, where he talks about his books where he predicts the economic collapse, education collapse, housing crisis, debt crisis, eventual collapse of the dollar, destruction of the manufacturing base in USA. Irwin Schiff also talks about the reasons for the incoming problems and he is giving an interesting look at the history of US over the past 100 years and how economy was changing. Also throughout the interview (really, it has to be viewed fully to see all of the points), Irwin Schiff shows that the income taxes in USA are voluntary and are collected illegally. Of-course he is spending 12 years in prison even though all of the evidence shows that he should not have been convicted, but the judge in the appeal case is refusing to look at the evidence.

So my point with all this is that AFAIC it is a good thing for the jury to be able to get some information that they don't have, because too often it looks like they are selected specifically in a way that would prevent anybody with any knowledge of the problems with the system from being in jury.

Jury nullification needs to be taught in school on day one, and of-course in the government ran schools it's not.

By the way, now with the NDAA signed by Obama, Bernard von NotHaus can in principle be 'disappeared' by the military and held indefinitely in a military prison because he was deemed a 'terrorist' for selling silver 10-20 Liberty dollar coins (of-course there are no silver 10-20 dollar USD that are used, these cannot be confused with actual USD and anybody who owns Liberty dollars is making a profit in terms of USD, which is being destroyed.) So do we need jury that are knowledgeable of what the system is like today or not?

Nullification - this is what all juries must be told. Nullify all laws that government is using to convict people whenever it concerns individual rights, property rights, etc. Government is the evil today, nothing else, nullify all laws.
