That's the whole debate though. What is your responsibility as a citizen?

The only responsibilities on the individual that are prescribed by the constitution arise under the Sixth Amendment, and Article I, Section 8 parts 15 and 16: the Militia clauses.

You have no other constitutional responsibilities as a citizen.

A legislated law obligating you to apply legislated law in judging the accused would violate the accused's 6th amendment right to a trial by a jury of his peers. Such a law would make you an agent of the government, not a layperson juror. The legislature can compel you to report for jury service; the legislature cannot impose any sort of responsibility to render a particular verdict.

You have no (relevant) legislative-law responsibilities as a citizen.

I'm so weary of talking about it ad-nauseam.

You have yet to talk about the most important part of the constitution. The first three words. You've completely ignored them all this time. Either you don't understand them, or you think they are irrelevant. They are the sine qua non of this issue. Ultimately, those three words rebut every single point against nullification you have made, every ad-nauseating time you have made them.

Ultimately these questions about jury nullification are irrelevant because you'll never have 12 jurors who think subverting the court process can achieve justice.

Injustice requires a unanimous verdict. The accused doesn't need 12 for the trial to reach a just end. He only needs one. A hung jury is always a just jury.

And any remaining metallic parts can be easily ditched in some random storm drain

That same mapp torch and a hammer renders them unrecognizable hunks of scrap metal. An acetylene torch turns them into slag.

I believe they got a fine for it.

They should be put up against a wall for it.

I don't know what should be done, but I'm pretty sure whatever it is will involve a Guy Fawkes mask and a green newsboy hat.

Check out "gyrocopters". They look kinda like helicopters, but their rotors are not connected to the engine. Instead, they use a propeller to drive the aircraft forward, and airflow drives the rotor disk.

They operate on the same basic principle as autorotation, but for normal flight rather than arresting an emergency descent.

Sideways scrolling? Really?

I saw a documentary on this a few years ago.

As a US-ian, I really wish you guys would keep reminding us that if you did join the US, you'd be a 51st state slightly larger and left of California.

The GOP wants nothing to do with Canada. They cringe every time they think about ya'll voting in our elections.

FPTP allows it, but FPTP is not the cause. We have had progressive politics in this country before, even with FPTP.

The cause is party leadership that is completely out of touch with reality.

Republicans are lot harder to pressure

Republicans caved to the Tea Party and a catch phrase. They are ridiculously easy to pressure.

The Democrats have been fighting against their own constituency for decades, pushing Hillary over Obama in 2008, Hillary over Bernie in 2016, and whatever you want to call that clusterfuck last year.

Hopefully, we can finally get a Guillotine Party to do to the Democrats what the Tea Party did to the GOP.
