Unlike Judge Weinstein, I have reflexively incorporated into my jury instructions what can only be viewed as an anti-nullification charge: “You should not be concerned about the wisdom of any rule I state. Regardless of any opinion that you may have as to what the law may be or ought to be, it would violate your sworn duty to base a verdict on any view of the law other than that which I give you.” [More]And then he goes on to tell us that doesn't work. Typical. But not surprising from the Brady talking points he cites.
Screw him. Vote your conscience and nullify the influence of judicial tyrants.
If it doesn't help secure the Blessings of Liberty, the hell with what these arrogant authoritarians say. Besides, they routinely break a more solemn oath every time they put on the black robe...
And yeah, I realize this is a year old. Unfortunately, as long as it is still "relevant," it will remain a timely reference.
