re: #131 Escaped Hillbilly

Well that’s the kind of thing that makes you laugh. And if you are into smoking pot, probably makes you laugh a lot. And if you are high, probably giggle for hours. But then, you should consider what other laws they might not agree with and just decide to not show up. Of course, if they are all pot heads, they probably wouldn’t anyway.

It’s a question of where you believe the power behind the law lies, with the people or the state?

“You, [the jury, have] a right to take upon yourselves to judge of both, and to determine the law as well as the fact in controversy… [B]oth objects are lawfully, within your power of decision.”
—John Jay - 1794
