My wife had jury duty last week, and I told her she should wear a shirt that said “Ask me about jury nullification.”

    Those are the people we should have on our juries. Instead we get dummies.

    So she ended on serving on a jury for about a week, and she was struck by two things. 1) the thoughtfulness of everyone else on the jury, and 2) how many people on the outside commented “why didn’t you just give an excuse to get out of it?”

    I know this was just one example, but the system worked as we’d hope for in this case.
