Criminal and Civil Justice - Courts, Prosecutions, Restitution
183. Court Accountability
We support the right to inform the jurors of their common law power to judge law (jury nullification) as well as the evidence, and to vote on the verdict according to their conscience. Article 3, Section 2 of the Constitution defines the role of judges. We support Congress limiting the powers of the US Federal Court by invoking Article 3, Section 2, and Clause 2, by legislating exceptions and creating regulations to limit the cases for which the US Federal Court have jurisdiction. We believe district attorneys have a duty to seek justice for victims of all forms of crime and oppose policies that systematically decline to prosecute crimes.
