    Except that juries are empowered to be the judges of facts....

    Yes, and so much more.

    Citation Needed

    Read the site.

    The docs contained therein cite many state constitutions and legal precedents referring to titles of the USC.

    Good point. I was thinking that a jury ban on intartube-connected devices was solely to prevent access to this site:

    http://fija.org/ [Fully Informed Jury Association.org]

    Merely reciting the quote on the home page beginning with "The primary function of the independent juror..." will be enough to get you thrown off of most jury panels.

    Does the FCC regulate what signals the CC's broadcast (decency regs aside) over their own wires? The 'A' in OTA is why the FCC regulates that.

    Essentially, the CC's have created their own broadcast medium and paid to run it to your house.

    I don't see why the CC's would stop broadcasting analog over their wires.

    Anyone?
